Is there any way to get the nativescript framework to work in the Xcode IDE (the gui part)? Something that would allow me to do the equivalent of tns build ios but in the IDE. I just need to be able to edit some of the build settings.
Sure, open the your_app/platforms/ios/your_app_name.xcworkspace with xcode and there you have all the option to change the build settings and build/run your app.
