(not the one you asked, but can chime in with some info)
This was a long time ago, but the way I did it was to use XcodeGen (1) and a simple Makefile. I have an example repo here (2) but it was before Swift Package Manager (using Carthage instead). If I remember correctly XcodeGen has support for Swift Package Manager now.
On top of that I was coding in VS Code at the time, and just ran `make run` in the terminal pane when I wanted to run the app.
Now, with SwiftUI, I'm not sure how it would be to not use Xcode. But personally, I've never really vibed with Xcode, and very much prefer using Zed...
