Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start with the related cordova-ios issue 582 and determine whether node-xcode can automate the Xcode File > New > Target step; done would be a Jenkins-compatible example that preserves the extension after platform removal and re-addition.

Description

bug help wanted support

Hi ✋ ,

I'm working with a Cordova based App, and I would like to automate the "Notification Service Extension" step (In Xcode: File > New > Target) (for example, in Jenkins pipeline) , since I saw that after doing it, remove platform, and add it again, the associated target is removed 😭

I've been searching through the docs, stack overflow and another issues and I haven't seen anything... (and trying to make a diff between platform without/with the extension seems impossible)... is this possible / or somebody can provide an example of something similar (since my knowledge over xcode is very limited) ?

Thanks a lot in advance!

PS: actually this is duplicate from (https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/582) because I didn't know the existence of this project, if you think that the issue in the cordova-ios project should be closed let me know 🙏

PS: meanwhile I'm going to try myself with the library, if I achieve something I'll post here the solution for helping 👍
