Add support for PBXBuildStyle

Bigpet commented 2 years ago

Context 🕵️‍♀️

I was trying to use Xcodegen to reference a target inside a xcode project generated by cmake.

/* Begin PBXBuildStyle section */
        C3A1C34E5D9A41E99812FB9C /* Release */ = {
            isa = PBXBuildStyle;
            buildSettings = {
                COPY_PHASE_STRIP = NO;
            };
            name = Release;
        };
/* End PBXBuildStyle section */

Later on used in

/* Begin PBXProject section */
        5F89BF4899BD4F768A3616BC /* Project object */ = {
            isa = PBXProject;
            attributes = {
                BuildIndependentTargetsInParallel = YES;
                LastUpgradeCheck = 1340;
            };
            buildConfigurationList = A855B1006B43451EBA296B88 /* Build configuration list for PBXProject "myproj" */;
            buildSettings = {
            };
            buildStyles = (
                C3A1C34E5D9A41E99812FB9C /* Release */,
            );

What 🌱

It could not add a target from the cmake generated xcodeproj as a dependency and just returned the error "The element PBXBuildStyle is not supported."

Proposal 🎉

This element seems like it's the base of XCConfigurationList which is supported, so this element might be able to be handled similarly.

And they appear to mostly blame cmake as the culprit.

In case anyone lands here via google, I used this script from here before the initial generation to make it work. If CMake overwrites it again, it still works until you try to use xcodegen again: https://gist.github.com/Bigpet/9c8f950aa5dd3ad99923d4d98cf87209

I got my issue solved by editing the *.xcodeproj file. While I can't find any Reference to the element being "deprecated" or "outdated" officially. Apparently it's just accepted that if the XCode UI of newer versions doesn't generate an element, it's de-facto "outdated".
