Just to follow up with this issue in case anyone else has issues with Xcode
here is what happened. Thanks to Gregor for taking a look at the generated
project file he was able to identify an issue where there were file paths in
the form of "//" inside the project file. They specifically showed in the form
of: /* // */. This was enough to throw the Xcode parser and send Xcode into the
spin-of-death. The root cause of the issue is that I had a cmake variable that
held all my source files. In that list was a file path, where the path was
completely created through cmake variables,
set(FOO_FILE "${SomethingLib_path}/${SOME_HEADER_PATH})
but neither of those variables had been defined for this project. (Copy paste
mistake). This resulted in the cmake variable (FOO_FILE from above) being empty
but still included as a source in the add_library() call. Fixing the cmake
variables fixed the Xcode generation issue.
I also want to recognize "git" for being helpful in all of this which allowed
to quickly figure out which commit broke the Xcode functionality.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
