How can I run Pygame (and python in general) in xcode?

I want to put a simple python game in the IOS app store but I am struggling to get it work properly in xcode, which prevents me from easily publishing the app.

I have looked online and I am able to open the python in xcode, I just can't get it to run. I am not sure it is possible, but I have seen some older forum that suggest it is.

I have tried to open and run the python code in xcode, and I assumed it would run similar to swiftUI which is more purpose built but it did not work as expected.

• make sure you have the latest versions of python (use brew) and xcode.
• find the location of your python install using where python3.
• run the commands:

cd location_of_python3
ln python3 examplePython3

• create an external build system
  • go to File->New->Project->Other->External Build System
  • in the next prompt set the product name (doesn't matter what)
  • in the build tool section, set the path of the where command
  • now you can see your project's info screen
• make a new python file
  • File->New->File->macOS->Empty-> click choose
  • choose a name for your python file (.py included)
• scheme editing
  • click the target
  • click Edit Scheme
  • click Executable -> Other (this will open a finder)
  • press CMD + SHIFT + G
  • enter the path from the where command
  • click Go
  • search for the python3 linked file created in the third step
  • choose the home file
• add launch arguments
  • next to the info section, you can also see the Arguments section.
  • click that
  • In Arguments Passed On Launch, click the + button and give the python filename as input.
  • press save
• set the working directory
  • next to the Arguments tab, you can see a Options tab.
  • click that
  • use a custom working directory
  • set the path as the project path
• debug the executable
  • go to the Info tab
  • uncheck the Debug executable option
• test
  • open your python file via xcode
  • write some python code
  • click Run and see the output!
