Add Xcode Button in UI

Xcode is building an integration to GitLab, that will offer parity with their existing GitHub integration. We hope to that in a future stage we can collaborate on a more comprehensive integration.

Proposal

Add a button that uses the Xcode URL schema to clone the project in Xcode.

The format of the URL scheme is as follows:

xcode://clone?repo=URLEncodedRepositoryURL => Example: xcode://clone?repo=https%3A%2F%gitlab.com%2Fexample%2Ffoo

The logic used for displaying the button should be:

1. Does the repository they are viewing contain a “.xcodeproj” or “.xcworkspace” file at the top-level
2. Does the browser user agent report the operating system as MacOS

Design

• Xcode button should only be visible where the current clone action is
• Do not show on mobile
• Button copy Open in Xcode
