Xcode can't view code generated by Swift Package Plugins
When using a Swift Build Plugin, the generated code definitions are available through autocomplete, but it is currently not possible to view them directly in Xcode using Option+click. An example of such a plugin is swift-openapi-generator. According to information from "Meet Swift Package plugins" from WWDC22 the generated code is stored with other build artifacts. It would be immensely helpful if there was support for viewing these intermediate files in read-only mode using Option+click. Currently, I have to resort to opening these files through Finder, or opening the project in VS Code where viewing the generated files using Cmd+click works without a problem. Am I missing something? If not, it seems like a big oversight that this is not supported to the same extent in Apple's own tools.

SwiftUICore import on Xcode 16.0
When requiring some components from the SwiftUI framework, Xcode 16.0 recommends importing SwiftUICore in its quick fix error suggestions. Previously, SwiftUI would be suggested. What is the difference between the two and which is the recommended one for importing?
