Add configuration option for iOS target(s)

[imhoffd]

We can add a configuration option which could use the configured target/scheme in sync and run.

This is not always so simple. We have 8 targets (variations) of the same app.

I think the best we can do is add a configuration option. When combined with capacitor.config.ts files (see https://capacitorjs.com/docs/v3/config), you can use an environment variable to switch targets.

@MortenGregersen Related: please see #4002 which moves public into the target directory. sync could use the configured target when copying web assets into place

Yes, with a dynamic config file this would work. This is awesome!

As I see it, the public directory is moved a level up. How does this relate to the configured target? @dwieeb

Great to hear! 😊

After some investigation, the configuration option will likely be a scheme (aka Xcode build configuration), not a target. This is required for 'run' to invoke 'xcodebuild', and we can use it to discover the target, because every scheme has an associated target (usually by the same name).

How does this relate to the configured target?

Only in that it organizes the project folder a bit. Not entirely related.
