We are currently using premake5 to create our project files, as we are developing a multi-platform platform. Obviously, we don’t need to know anything about the extension (since this is an exclusive function of iOS8), but we are faced with a problem: every time we regenerate the main file of the application project (which happens sometimes), we are forced to manually add all the files and configure the extension, which is boring and error prone.
Is there a way to add an application extension (Today widget) to a separate project? Pbxproj files are not version compatible, as their contents seem to be shuffled every time they are saved. Thus, saving the patch file with all the necessary changes does not seem to be an alternative.
I know this is a broad convenience question, maybe experienced Xcode developers know some tricks (or maybe it's just something obvious that we are missing here).
Thanks to everyone in advance.
