```csharp
public string AddTarget(string name, string ext, string type)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[string]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)): The name of the new target.**** (\[string]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)): The file extension of the target artifact. **Note**: Adding a leading `.` isn't necessary, but is accepted.**** (\[string]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)): The type of the target. For example, `com.apple.product-type.app-extension` or `com.apple.product-type.application.watchapp2`.

### Returns

| Type                                                           | Description                 |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| [string](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string) | The GUID of the new target. |

### Remarks

Target-specific build configurations are automatically created for each known build configuration name. Note, that this is a requirement that follows from the structure of Xcode projects, not an implementation detail of this function. The function creates a product file reference in the `Products` project folder which refers to the target artifact built via this target.

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEditor;
using System.IO;
using UnityEditor.Callbacks;
using UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode;

public class Sample_AddTarget  
{
    [PostProcessBuild]
    public static void OnPostprocessBuild(BuildTarget buildTarget, string pathToBuiltProject)
    {

        // Stop processing if build target is not iOS
        if (buildTarget != BuildTarget.iOS)
            return;

        // Initialize PBXProject
        string projectPath = PBXProject.GetPBXProjectPath(pathToBuiltProject);
        PBXProject pbxProject = new PBXProject();
        pbxProject.ReadFromFile(projectPath);

        // Add a new Target to the project by specifying its name, extension and target type
        // You can later use the returned targetGuid to modify the target
        string targetGuid = pbxProject.AddTarget("exampleTarget", "app", "com.apple.product-type.bundle");

        // Apply changes to the pbxproj file
        pbxProject.WriteToFile(projectPath);
    }
}
```
