Thanks to Gregor for taking a look at the generated project file he was able to identify an issue where there were file paths in the form of "//" inside the project file. They specifically showed in the form of: /* // */. This was enough to throw the Xcode parser and send Xcode into the spin-of-death. The root cause of the issue is that I had a cmake variable that held all my source files. In that list was a file path, where the path was completely created through cmake variables,

I will create a topic branch with a fixed Xcode generator.

Thanks,
Gregor
