Correct.  Xcode has explicit support for this, namely the “Create Info.plist 
Section in Binary” build setting (`CREATE_INFOPLIST_SECTION_IN_BINARY`).  This 
uses the file from the standard “Info.plist File” (`INFOPLIST_FILE`) build 
setting.

The above is implemented in terms of the `-sectcreate __TEXT __info_plist 
/path/to/file` linker option, which you can read about in <x-man-page://1/ld>.  
If you create a dummy Xcode command line tool project, you can look at the 
build transcript to see how it works.

I kinda presume that SPM has a way to pass in custom linker options but I don’t 
have direct experience with that.

Share and Enjoy
