CocoaPods Compatibility Problems in GitHub Copilot for Xcode

Issue Description: "Our project is very large and legacy-based, and we’re still using CocoaPods for managing component libraries. When I try to add some class files via the agent, files from libraries managed by CocoaPods are sometimes not searchable or accessible."

I’m currently using Xcode 16.4 and GitHub Copilot for Xcode version 0.37.0. My project is structured with a main project and several component projects. The main project integrates these component projects either as source code or binary files via CocoaPods from local paths.

When I use the “Add Context” feature in GitHub Copilot for Xcode—for example, to include A.swift from a local source-based component A, or B.swift from a binary-based component B—I try to use the search function. However, I’m unable to find the files I want to add.

My project is large, and the list of files available for inclusion is very long. I can’t be sure if the files are even in the list, and even if they are, it’s extremely inconvenient to locate them manually. I would prefer to be able to search for files by filename and include them directly.

Thanks for the details. @testforstephen to take a look.
