SwiftUI Empty App Init

Overview

Initialize a clean, single-target SwiftUI iOS app in the current directory. The project is generated using XcodeGen to produce a single

.xcodeproj

, leaving developers ready to start adding features immediately.

Prerequisites

Xcode installed and selected via
```
xcode-select
```
XcodeGen available on
```
PATH
```

If any prerequisite is missing:

Stop execution
Tell the user exactly what is missing
Do not attempt alternative scaffolding or auto-installation

Inputs

Project name (required)
Minimum iOS deployment target
Optional bundle identifier (or use default)

Defaults (use without extra confirmation)

Bundle identifier default:
```
com.example.<ProjectName>
```
Proceed immediately once required inputs are provided (do not ask extra confirmations)

Core Requirements

The resulting project must:

Be generated via XcodeGen (do not hand-author
```
project.pbxproj
```
)
Use a single
```
.xcodeproj
```
(no
```
.xcworkspace
```
)
Contain exactly one app target
Use the SwiftUI
```
@main App
```
lifecycle
Contain a minimal
```
ContentView
```
placeholder
Contain a minimal
```
Info.plist
```
(avoid unnecessary scene or delegate keys)
Contain no Swift packages
Contain no test targets unless explicitly requested

Generation

Create a minimal
```
project.yml
```
using the provided inputs
Generate
```
YourApp.xcodeproj
```
using XcodeGen
Ensure the output matches all Core Requirements

Expected Structure

```
project.yml
```
```
YourApp.xcodeproj
```
```
YourApp/
```
(app target source files)
Optional config files only

No additional folders, packages, workspaces, scripts, or assets should be present.

Minimal Verification (fast)

Confirm
```
YourApp.xcodeproj
```
is generated successfully by XcodeGen.
Confirm the default scheme exists (e.g., via a lightweight scheme listing).
Do not boot simulators, build, install, or launch unless explicitly requested.

Notes

Keep the project minimal and unopinionated
Do not add icons/scripts, packages, workspaces, or architecture scaffolding
This skill is for app initialization only, not feature scaffolding
