0.8: Bazel configurability

What’s Changed

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

• device_and_simulator has been deprecated. Use the new top_level_target.target_environments argument instead: #965
• xcode_provisioning_profile has moved from xcodeproj/experimental.bzl to xcodeproj/xcodeproj.bzl: #1069
• xcodeproj.build_mode now defaults to "bazel": #1022
• It is now an error to list non-top-level targets in top_level_targets: #1104

New

• The project generator is now run inside a runner script, and allows for configuration via Bazel configs: #911, #950, #952, #990, #1061, #1062, and #1075
  • This means that most command-line flags you pass to bazel run //:xcodeproj are ignored
  • To adjust the project generation, use the newly available Bazel configs
• Bazel-built Swift now uses index-while-building: #1040, #1043, #1096, and #1098
• Added support for custom working directory in custom scheme launch actions: #1051, #1074, and #1076
• Added support for custom Swift toolchains: #1027
• Added support for adding extra files to the project: #1080
• Added support for custom scheme pre and post actions: #1047

• All versions of Info.plist for a given target are now generated when building: #985
• Added support for the "Compile File" command: #976

• Improved handling of top_level_cache_buster: #1050 and #1103
• Index Build's bazel outputs are now stored inside a directory of the normal Bazel output: #1053
• Binary rules are now codesigned, fixing the Memory Graph Debugger: #1058
• Fixed edge-case building of unfocused dependencies: #1093
• Bazel now uses the correct Xcode version when compiling: #1099, #1100, and #1102
