Description

I saw an old post about this feature, but I wonder if Apple let us to do such a thing in Xcode 13, if not what is the best practice for this to work? (some 3rd party file listeners with cli ?)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate whether Xcode 13 supports auto format on save natively. If not, explore third party tools or SwiftFormat's Xcode Extension capabilities and suggest the best practice.
