Debug/run iMessage extension
Xcode 11.2.1
Appcode 2019.3
I have an iMessage extension that will debug/run fine in Xcode but when I try from Appcode it does nothing. It doesn't start a build or anything. No messages displayed either.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for reporting the problem, I've created ticket for this case OC-19464.
As a temporal workaround I can recommend to set in extension's target Info.plist "Bundle OS Type code" (or "CFBundlePackageType") from current value (likely '$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_PACKAGE_TYPE)') to XPC!. This should enable building and starting the scheme. Please let us know if that helps.
Keep in mind, that there is also a known problem with opening iMessage extension automatically in Messages app on debug session start, so you'll need to select it manually and then debug session will be started (see OC-18747).
