What for, on earth? Presumed you develop in XCode, I fail to see any
need for deployment builds over (a) building into an archive to be
unpacked on the server, (b) in some special cases (like if you want
to check the deployment build for some strange bug) building
directly into the current machine. For both, I would venture to say,
commandline is the easiest variant
... I like your build script, Ondra, very nice.
I use ant for a few reasons, but the main one is being able to
build applications without Apple's software -- ant calls on a couple
of wo-aware tasks, to manage placing files into bundles, and
otherwise only needs standard java tools.
Another reason is that I often deploy in "single directory"
(local frameworks contained inside the *.woa), and that is supported
with a single flag setting in the ant task. I think XCode/xcodebuild
may also offer this option (it has to for servlet deploys, I think),
but I have not explored that.
I'm also lazy! I built some nice ant build.xml files a while
ago, and have refined them to fit my needs pretty well ... Gavin
