Is there any way to automatically add package/target name and copyright + company name to the header when creating new files while developing a swift package with Xcode 12/13?

Just create a new package (File > New > Package) and add a new file to the sources (File > New > File).

Currently gives me this:

//
//  File.swift
//  
//
//  Created by User Name on 02.10.21.
//

instead of this (like when adding files to regular Xcode project):

//
//  File.swift
//  MyPackage
//
//  Created by User Name on 02.10.21.
//  Copyright © 2021 Company Name. All rights reserved.
//

Thanks!

  1. create a file named IDETemplateMacros.plist. The content for this new file like this,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>FILEHEADER</key>
    <string>
//  ___FILENAME___
//  Your Package Name
// 
//  Created by ___FULLUSERNAME___ on ___DATE___.
//  Copyright © 2021 Your Name Or Company. All rights reserved.
    </string>
</dict>
</plist>
  1. put this file in the following location,
<Your Package Root>/.swiftpm/xcode/package.xcworkspace/xcuserdata/<Your username>.xcuserdata/IDETemplateMacros.plist

Note: you should right click 'show package content' of the package.xcworkspace to get inside screen shot

Can add to Guanghui Liang's answer above that you can also add this to the xcshareddata folder like so:

  1. Inside your <Your Package Root>/.swiftpm/xcode/package.workspace/, create a folder called xcshareddata.
  2. Add the plist Guangui mentions in his answer to this folder.

Be aware that xcuserdata overwrites xcshareddata, so if you have the same file in both, Xcode will use the one in xcuserdata.
