As someone that has no know how of iOS app development, this post is well written and concise. As a regular doom emacs user, I often try to make the best out of it whenever I can. I don't use LSPs at all but I am curious, do you use the same LSPs as Xcode in this case?

Xcode actually does not use an LSP server under the hood, it’s like the other historic/big IDEs that rely much on a tight integration with the compiler via static analysis and many other complex machinery to get that IDE effect, lsp servers in comparison are very basic, but also very portable and that’s their advantage: we can have a reasonable feature set of Xcode’s in any editor that supports lsp servers.
That's insightful, thanks for your reply
