He discusses their small remote product team, multi-project Xcode architecture using Tuist for project generation, VIPER architecture, Carthage for dependency management, heavy reliance on RxSwift and Texture, a TDD-driven testing strategy with over 500 unit tests using SwiftyMocky for mocking, and how adopting Tuist cut new app setup time from 45 to 15 minutes while easing maintenance across many app targets. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How can I reduce the time it takes to set up a new white-label app target in Xcode? Using Tuist's scaffold command to generate new app targets reduced setup time from about 45 minutes of manual clicking and drag-and-drop in Xcode down to around 15 minutes, and the process became simple enough for any team member to perform rather than requiring one person who knew the manual configuration steps. _See how other teams streamline multi-target Xcode setups by exploring Tuist discussions on daily.dev._ ### How do teams manage dozens of white-label app targets that share most of the same codebase in Xcode? One approach uses a single Xcode project with app targets that only contain an AppDelegate and per-customer configuration, while a shared framework holds the main feature code and separate frameworks handle networking, utilities, and analytics. Tuist's project description helpers generalize target configuration so all white-label apps stay consistently set up across 20+ shopping mall variants. _Developers structuring multi-target apps can follow Xcode architecture patterns like this on daily.dev._ ### What testing approach works well for a VIPER-based iOS app? Covering the presenter layer with unit tests close to 100% coverage, using mocked view, router, and interactor objects, works well in VIPER modules, with additional tests added when interactors carry more complex logic. SwiftyMocky is used to auto-generate protocol mocks, and over 500 unit tests plus simple UI smoke tests (also used for App Store screenshots via Fastlane) support the strategy. _Track testing strategies for architectures like VIPER as you build iOS test suites on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
