I am trying to add an xcode project inside another as a dependent project and want to be able to choose the build configuration of the dependent project. I cannot find any option to do so. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can't. Projects in Xcode are different than "solutions" in Visual Studio or "project" in Eclipse.


Background: When you have project A, and add a reference to project B to it, that allows you to make *targets* of project A depend on *targets* in project B. When you build one of your targets in project A with such a dependency, it will build the target it depends on in project B.

If there is a build configuration in project B with the same name as your active build configuration when building project A, that will be used. Otherwise, project B's default configuration (as specified in the Project info window, Configurations tab) will be used.

That's the only information passed between the projects. Otherwise, they're treated as entirely independent, just as if you had opened them separately in Xcode and built them. This applies to the products built by their targets as well; a product from a target in project B will build into project B's built products directory, not to project A's.
