BTW why is it called Prefix.pch. A prefix is something you add in front of a word, and what does pch stand for (I guess precompiled header, but I’m usually lousy when it comes to guessing what abbreviations stand for).

It is called a prefix because it is prefixed (placed before) all of your source files. It is similar to having #include "the-pch- file.pch" at the top of all source files. It is however precompiled separately, so that the compiler does not have to reparse it for each of your source files.


You do not need to remove it, you can do so by fiddling with the target's settings, and it can be beneficial to have it in larger projects.

I don't think this is on-topic on this list, though, since PCH files are not really part of or even related to Cocoa.
