 - [ ] **stopOnEveryMainThreadCheckerIssue**: **Bool** - a boolean that indicates if this scheme should stop at every Main Thread Checker issue. This defaults to false
+- [ ] **buildImplicitDependencies**: **Bool** - Flag to determine if Xcode should build implicit dependencies of this scheme. By default this is `true` if not set.
 - [ ] **language**: **String** - a String that indicates the language used for running and testing. This defaults to nil
 - [ ] **region**: **String** - a String that indicates the region used for running and testing. This defaults to nil
 - [ ] **commandLineArguments**: **[String:Bool]** - a dictionary from the argument name (`String`) to if it is enabled (`Bool`). These arguments will be added to the Test, Profile and Run scheme actions
