chore: switch to an XcodeGen project file

[ThomasK33]

This PR transitions the project from a manually maintained .xcodeproj file to an XcodeGen-managed project configuration.
It introduces a streamlined development workflow using XcodeGen to generate project files dynamically and includes necessary updates to documentation, .gitignore, and CI configuration.

For some reason the runtime search paths for the frameworks has changed, despite the config looking mostly the same:

When starting the network extension I'm getting:

ASI found [dyld] (sensitive) 'Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/VPNLib.framework/Versions/A/VPNLib
  Referenced from: <306B8001-A2DD-3B40-8152-B2257E804958> /Library/SystemExtensions/0EB23306-84D3-465D-9069-4140FD750438/com.coder.Coder-Desktop.VPN.systemextension/Contents/MacOS/com.coder.Coder-Desktop.VPN

Previously, the build folder in XCode was included in the list of directories it would look for the library, not just the system stores I know this because the tried list would include it when I had the same error before I embedded them, here's that error message:

But curiously:
This is on main:

and this is on this branch:

Perhaps it could be worth scrapping the dynamic frameworks altogether, and just including the contents of VPNLib and CoderSDK as compile targets for the app and NE, i.e. this setting:

WDYT?

[ethanndickson]

I had to set PRODUCT_NAME to $(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER for the app to get the OS to prompt me to install the NE.

[ThomasK33]

Interesting. Was that already committed to the main branch?

When looking at the pbxproj file from main, it's set to inherit, so I carried it over as is.

[ethanndickson]

I believe it's cause you have the base setting for PRODUCT_NAME set to $(TARGET_NAME):

PRODUCT_NAME: "$(TARGET_NAME)"

Whereas on main the base value for PRODUCT_NAME is currently empty.

Setting that base value (changing the setting when the project is selected in XCode) causes it to inherit from that.

[ThomasK33]

Does the PRODUCT_NAME: "$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)" only apply to this system extension, or should I remove that default base value?

[ethanndickson]

yeah only the system extension is $(inherited), everything else is $(TARGET_NAME) (with ..:c99extidentifier for the frameworks)

[ethanndickson]

Coder Desktop runs end-to-end with this config, so LGTM!
