Add product type "WatchKit App Container" to ProjectDescription

[thebarndog]

Describe the bug and the expected behavior

When creating a standalone watch app, Xcode will generate 3 targets:

• a WatchKit app container with the product type com.apple.product-type.application.watchapp2-container
• a watch kit app with the product type com.apple.product-type.application.watchapp2
• a watch kit extension with the product type com.apple.product-type.watchkit2-extension

ProjectDescription.Product needs an additional product type to represent watch kit container targets which is essentially an empty iOS target with corresponding product type com.apple.product-type.application.watchapp2-container.

As a side question, are there any tuist plugins that are able to generate a standalone watch app or watch targets in general? Something like that would be incredibly useful rather than the alternative which is having to know exactly what targets Xcode creates and how they're structured.

Hey @thebarndog 👋

That's a reasonable addition. Would you want to contribute to this?

that are able to generate a standalone watch app or watch targets in general?

I'm not aware of something like that being available. But you are more than welcome adding that by creating a template plugin (see documentation here)l. Depending on the template, you could then run tuist scaffold --template watch-target --name WatchName which would generate the files specified in the template.

Yeah I can certainly take a crack at it. It might not be for a while but it's definitely something I'd love to see!

@fortmarek now that standalone watch apps exist and "watch app + watch extension" have fallen by the wayside with Xcode 14+, does Tuist support this yet? And if not, would the approach you outline above, creating a template, be the recommended way to build it into the core functionality?
