Support for bundling XPC Services about swift-bundler

[stackotter]

Thanks, that should be enough info for now 👍

Once I've gotten very basic iOS support working (a sponsor wants that) I'll try implementing support for XPC services. Basic iOS support isn't too far away so you shouldn't have to wait too long :)

Would you be able to provide an example xcode project with an xpc service so that I can see how the resulting app bundle should look? I haven’t worked with xpc services before so I don’t know how they work.

I've started my project using https://github.com/rderik/XPCSquirrel as a template. The resulting app folder looks like this:

$ tree MyApp.app
MyApp.app/
└── Contents
    ├── Info.plist
    ├── MacOS
    │   └── MyApp
    └── XPCServices
        └── ServiceProvider.xpc
            └── Contents
                ├── Info.plist
                └── MacOS
                    └── ServiceProvider

Happy to provide more information if you need it.

I'm finally working on Swift Bundler again after not really working on it much at all for probably over 6 months. The early access version currently has support for expressing any possible plist entries in the configuration file. I will be merging the early access version into this repo soon after a few more improvements. After that I'll be looking into supporting a big chunk of the kinds of Apple-specific app content that Xcode supports (iMessage extensions, XPC services, etc.)
