My tests are XCTests and I'm using Objective-C instead of Swift.

I've seen some articles that tackle the topic, but the seem focused on older versions of Xcode, for example:

Take a look at frankencover.it

  • Simple script that can be run from dev's cmd-line or CI build server.
  • Produces console output as well as a detailed report in HTML format. This can be viewed locally or published as an artifact by the build server.
  • Optionally includes a checker that will 'fail' the build if required coverage is not met. (Feedback only. This is a prompt to review coverage and look for useful tests that can be added or reduce the required amount. Either option may be correct. )
  • Free for both commercial and open-source projects. No hosting, sponsorship or subscription required.

Usage:

FTW, it has an easy-to-remember dogue-speak-esque command line interface:
