Robert: an alternative that works for many types of "plugin-type" targets, but which I haven't confirmed for Preference Panes, is to simply install a symbolic link in the desired directory that points back to your build results directory. For instance, if I was doing this on my machine, it would look something like this:

cd ~/Library/PreferencePanes/

ln -s ~/BUILDRESULTS/Debug/MyFunPrefs.prefpane

This hack makes it much easier to do the quick-fix/test cycle, in my opinion. I have used it for Internet Plug-Ins and Audio Units.

I am working on a System Preference pane I need to be able to debug it, I am able to set the custom executable to System Preferences but I can't seem to get my XCode Project to build the preference pane into my user/Libraries/PreferencePanes/ so I can debug it. Does anyone know what settings I need to change in the project so that it builds to this directory for debugging.

See Xcode 2.2 User Guide: Building a Product for Deployment

The three pertinent ideas are:

a) Set the Installation Location build setting to $(USER)/Library/PreferencePanes
b) Set Deployment Location to YES.
c) Set Installation Build Products Location to /

Installation is more typically done from the command line:

% xcodebuild install DSTROOT=/

which does b and c for you.
