The Project Builder 2.1 release notes said:
Build settings can now be referenced in the Info.plist Settings
dictionary of a target. The syntax is the same as elsewhere, i.e.
$VAR, $(VAR), and ${VAR} are all recognized. For example, if you
have a build setting named CURRENT_VERSION, you can use its value in
any of the values in the Info.plist dictionary (e.g.
CFBundleGetInfoString = "MyApp v$(CURRENT_VERSION)"). Any build
setting reference that either uses invalid syntax or references an
undefined build setting are left untouchedif, for example, the
value of the NSHumanReadableCopyright key is "Shareware $10", the
$10 part will be left untouched. Also, only references in
dictionary values are expandeddictionary keys cannot contain
references to build settings.
This didn't appear to work. My recollection was that the release notes
weren't accurate and the feature didn't make it in the release, but I
can't seem to find that message in my archives or the list archives.
This also doesn't appear to work in Xcode 1.0.1.
Has the feature been dropped? Is something similar being considered?
Is there a solution today for reference build settings in the plist
files?
Thanks,
Jim
