Background
When using "Convert to Folder" on groups in projects within a CocoaPods workspace, an empty
exceptions = ();entry is unnecessarily added to the pbxproj file.Why This Is a Problem
There's no need to include this empty configuration when there are no exceptions. If it were truly necessary, Xcode itself would add
exceptions = ();when performing the Convert to Folder operation. These unnecessary entries make the project file needlessly complex and create unwanted diffs.Solution
The
PBXNativeTargetclass in this project already overrides theto_hash_asmethod to exclude empty collections (like packageProductDependencies) from serialization.By extending the
PBXFileSystemSynchronizedRootGroupclass with a similar approach, we can prevent empty exceptions collections from being serialized, eliminating the unnecessaryexceptions = ();entries in pbxproj files.
