Xcode 16 supports the EditorConfig standard, which allows a project to specify basic formatting rules so the editor can behave correctly. This means no additional configuration is required to get automatic 2-space indentation in Xcode rather than its default 4-space indentation. (You may need to quit and relaunch Xcode for it to pick up the editorconfig file after switching to a branch with it present)
Unfortunately, this does introduce duplication with .swift-format because both specify the indentation width. (It would be nice if swift-format picked up these settings automatically!)
