How to set default scheme for workspace in Xcode?

Question

I have a workspace in Xcode with about 10 circuits.

Whenever I clone a repository and open the Xcode workspace from a newly cloned repository for the first time, the selected scheme is always the first scheme that I created when I first developed the Xcode workspace. Since then, I have added about 9 additional schemes.

I would like the default schema to be selected when the Xcode project is first opened from the recently cloned repository to be a different schema.

Note that Set Default Schema for an Xcode project does not answer this question, despite the promising title. I cannot find this question, asked or answered, anywhere else.

How to set default scheme in Xcode project?

Answer 1

I delved into this and found at least part of the answer. Hope this helps. I do not work with the workspace, but I work with a project with several subprojects and schemes.

The selected project diagram is a user-specific configuration, and it seems that it cannot be added to the new user who is cloning the repository. I can tell by looking at my git repository after changing the settings stored in

<projectname>.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/<username>.xcuserdatad/UserInterfaceState.xcuserstate

So, if we can’t set the selected circuit, can we set the order so that the desired circuit is displayed at the top? It seems not, because even for general schemes, information about ordering a scheme is placed in a user-specific file:

<projectname>.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/<username>.xcuserdatad/xcschemes/xcschememanagement.plist

It was as much as possible, but I believe that there should be a way, even if it is a little hacked. The project preserves the order that you created the schemes in some way, possibly in the project.pbxproj file. Therefore, perhaps a small reformatting of this file may produce some results.
