Kin is a command-line syntax checker for Xcode's project.pbxproj files, built with an ANTLR 4 grammar. It detects errors in the project configuration file and reports the offending line with a short description.

Use cases

• check if my project.pbxproj file is valid
• find syntax errors in xcode project file after a bad merge
• lint project.pbxproj in CI to catch broken xcode builds
• verify pbxproj file syntax from the command line
• detect which line of project.pbxproj is malformed

When to choose

• you work with Xcode projects and want to catch pbxproj merge conflicts or syntax errors early
• you want a lightweight CLI verifier to run in CI pipelines for iOS projects
• you need a fast syntax check without opening Xcode

When to avoid

• you need to modify or rewrite project.pbxproj files, not just validate them
• you need full semantic validation of Xcode project settings rather than syntax checking
• you don't use Xcode or pbxproj-based projects
