Generated effect

  1. You are advised to create a customized template folder in the iOS directory instead of modifying the system template. Copy the system template and modify it. This will create an extra column.

In this directory, you cannot modify files directly. You can copy files to the directory that can be modified and then overwrite the corresponding files
