When I try to debug it, I find the active executable is still the iPhone app. In fact there is no executable for the shell tool. I could create a custom executable, but that ties me to the path to my custom build folder on the machine I'm running on, and it's invalid if I change build configurations.

One way to do it: Build the target. Add a custom executable, and slog through the open-file sheet to find the build product. In the resulting inspector for the custom executable, change the path type to "Relative to Build Product."


That takes care of the portability, but I can still complain:

* Probing for the executable isn't as intelligent or convenient as Xcode normally is (really!).

* The new executable is not made the default for its target. If I switch targets, I have to switch executables by hand. I don't see how to set a default executable for a target. Again, not the convenience and intelligence I expect (okay, hope for) in Xcode.

* Bonus gripe: The new target's product does not show up in the Products group. If it were there, it would be easier to get the path to the product.

Can I do better?
