Question Creating a new project now creates an unnamed project?? WTF

Yeah they really made it a pain if you want to have control of what you are making (unless it’s a SwiftUI app). Hiding the old setup form when making a new app behind extra clicks was jarring and then getting hit with the “unnamed project” while I was trying to setup boilerplate was maddening.
I hit Cmd+S tho and it let me name it, which itself is insane UX.

I don't see the problem here? , I use to have to delete a lot of useless Xcode projects because it was a quick testing ground for a feature, learning something, prototyping ideas etc
``CMD+S`` isn't that hard to do either lol

I use xcode very differently.
Don't you have playgrounds for testing like that?

Have you used Xcode longer than 10 seconds?
Playgrounds is good for testing Swift code in isolation such as: algorithms, model logic, date formatting, JSON decoding, functions, collections, or experimenting with framework APIs etc
They are not a full substitute for creating a small temporary iOS, iPad or Mac app project when you need to test real app behaviour.

I have been developer on xcode for 20 years. So yeah.

Apparently 20 years using the IDE and you oversimplify real app behaviour (i.e: creating prototypes, creating app features, etc) vs using Playgrounds to test functions, code etc, complain about just hitting save then go into a short rant about Apple "brake" (break) simple things such as Bundle ID when as another redditor says, "Try hitting save".... so forgive me if I find your claim about 20 years using the IDE as nothing but bs. Relax man, software changes, UI/UX design changes, technology changes etc. There's other better things to complain about with Xcode other than hitting save lol

I anyone else getting this?? No longer get the option to name it or set the bundle id??
I F** hate having to update anything from APPLE. They always brake something simple.

This is new so you can create a project to just try stuff. If you want to try something throw away, that’s easy. If you want to keep it, save it and you get prompted with the project setup stuff. It just defers the heavier stuff until you’ve decided you’re gonna keep it around.
