xcodebuild:tldr:03624

The command you provided is used to build and clean an Xcode project using the command-line tool xcodebuild. Let's break down the command and explain each part:

xcodebuild: This is the command-line tool provided by Xcode for building, testing, and analyzing Xcode projects.

-workspace ${workspace_name-workspace}: This specifies the name of the Xcode workspace file (.xcworkspace) to build. ${workspace_name-workspace} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the workspace file.

-scheme ${scheme_name}: This specifies the scheme to build. A scheme in Xcode represents a specific build configuration, targets, and other settings for building your project. ${scheme_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the scheme.

-configuration ${configuration_name}: This specifies the build configuration to use. A build configuration defines different sets of build settings, such as Debug or Release. ${configuration_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the configuration.

clean build: This is an argument to xcodebuild specifying that both the cleaning and building actions should be performed. Cleaning removes any build artifacts from previous builds, and then a fresh build is performed.

SYMROOT=${SYMROOT_path}: This sets the build location for the output products, such as the compiled binary and any intermediate build files. ${SYMROOT_path} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired path to store the build results.

In summary, the given command builds an Xcode project using a specific workspace, scheme, and configuration. It performs a clean before building and specifies the output location for the build results.
