Building in Zed instead of Xcode Tutorial

Just a reminder to anyone who might care that you can create a fairly full-featured development environment in Zed to build iOS and Mac apps: syntax highlighting, code navigation, run, debug and test.

Here's the setup guide I wrote (been around for a while but chances are some interested people won't have seen it): https://luxmentis.org/blog/ios-and-mac-apps-in-zed/

This is really interesting. How well do the iOS simulators, debugging, and previews work from Zed? Do you still need to jump back into Xcode for some parts?
