Xcode – check the type of extension

In iOS there are several app extensions described here and I would like to know how to distinguish each type.

In my current project I have a lot of extensions without a descriptive name. How could i figure out what type of extension is each one of them?

    I finally I figure out that I can check the type of extension in the Info.plist of each extension.

    For example, these identifiers belongs to Notification Service Extension and Notification Content Extension respectively.

    NSExtension -> NSExtensionPointIdentifier = com.apple.usernotifications.service 
NSExtension -> NSExtensionPointIdentifier = com.apple.usernotifications.content-extension
