Is there a naming convention for Xcode projects?

🎤 General Discussion Swift

In java and python development I’ve always used a hyphen in project names in GitHub to separate words: java-concepts. I’m learning Swift and want to keep my examples, so in both GitHub and Xcode I named my project swift-concepts.

In Xcode, when it created the project, I now have files named swift_conceptsApp.swift and swift_conceptTests.swift

Also, an example folder that was generated is swift-conceptsTests, which I don’t like the mix of separating words by both a dash and camel case. In Java, everything within the project folder was camel case, but Xcode tries to preserve the dash, and for files makes it an underscore.

Should I just name my Swift projects using camel case such as SwiftConcepts? Is that the convention?

It is Camel Cased, sometimes even with spaces - as you can see in the Apple article examples.

Makes sense, thanks!
