While I understand that my way is supposedly obsolete, it has been my
experience that Xcode still gets bent out of shape when you use agvtool
and your project is open. Maybe this was before I converted my PB
project to xcode but it's no drag for me to get out of Xcode all
together to run agvtool. I guess it depends on your release procedure.
Mine consists of over 30 steps that I follow and using agvtool is only
one of them.

Hi,
according to Eric's posts (which aren't on-line because he sent them
to my address only) you're wrong. The way of using agvtool I was
naming "offline". It means:
a] close the current project
b] go to project directory in Terminal
c] execute agvtool with needed options
Eric responded, that this way is obsolete and now you can use agvtool
in automatic mode while project is open. The only problem is that his
latest reply was:"check agvtool help for more info"
Regards
Robert

I don't understand what you mean about "the various versions
scattered throughout a project." agvtool isn't designed for
versioning of source. It is build specific AFAIK. So when you are
preparing a build (let's say for release) you would use agvtool to
increment the build number and then recompile so that the build
number shows up properly in your about box, in the finder, etc.
The key is that you have to run agvtool while xcode is not running. I
think this was supposed to be fixed but I find if xcode is running,
even if I have closed my project, after running agvtool xcode will
complain that my project has been edited (or changed) outside of the
app. You must also recompile in order for the build numbers to be
reflected in your built app.
As for versioning your source, I think the most common way to do it
is with cvs and it integrates quite nicely with PB and xcode...except
for those nib files. :-(

Has anyone ever seen a tutorial or detailed description of
versioning for Cocoa apps? I'm a little confused about the specific
purposes of the various versions scattered throughout a project, and
about the use of agvtool. Is this one of those things that you just
have to muddle through with the agvtool man page and the information
scattered throughout the ADC documentation, or has somebody put it
all together someplace from where it can be more easily digested?
TIA,
Jeff
