From all the things to work on Xcode... fixing the ghost diagnostic errors, actual hot reload instead of the nightmare Previews are, tooling to help diagnose the now messy Swift 6 concurrency code, that thing where you can't open a project and one of it's dependent swift packages for editing simultaneously ...

The list of actually useful things that can be added/changed in Xcode has more tokens than Claude is allowed to read at one time before grepping.

You can. Any local packages are automatically editable in Xcode. Opening two projects referencing the same local package dependency isn't possible however.

Editor features for editable local packages are limited, even the project inspector hides some actions and then there is the whole story of schemas, working directory (maybe you want to tweak a binary or another target in that package) etc. It’s broken and frustrating.
