The type or namespace name 'Xcode' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEditor.iOS'

I was using a plugin in my project which has a build post processor.

When VSCode loaded the project, it showed an error on the line

using UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode;

saying:

The type or namespace name ‘Xcode’ does not exist in the namespace ‘UnityEditor.iOS’ (are you missing an assembly reference?) [Assembly-CSharp-Editor]

However, in Unity, build was successful. Is there any way to let VSCode recognize this namespace?

I was using Unity 5.4.0b15 on El Capitan with latest VSCode and VSCode plugin.

So, to elaborate, the code looks like this in the file:

#if UNITY_5 && (UNITY_IOS || UNITY_TVOS)
using UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode;
#endif

The building target was set as iOS so this precompile conditions included this. If the build target is set as Android this error disappears.

Actually there is a PBXProject class in the code that seems to rely on that namespace (since VSCode thinks that the namespace does not exists so does the PBXProject class):

The type or namespace name ‘PBXProject’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) [Assembly-CSharp-Editor]

#if UNITY_IOS
#if UNITY_5
...
PBXProject project = new PBXProject();
...
#endif
#endif

Actually I did a google search and I found this class description located in the online scripting reference. Looks like the Xcode.iOS namespace is also shown there:

http://docs.unity3d.com/540/Documentation/ScriptReference/iOS.Xcode.PBXProject.html

…and this class exists since 5.0
