Yes, this is one of the bizarre things [IMHO] of XCode. By default,
the
build products of both the development and deployment build styles
completely overlap.
So, for example, if you do a build with the development build style,
then
modify a single file, then switch to the deployment build style, only
that
single file that you modified is build, using the deployment style,
and the
rest of the build still uses the development build style.
Personally, I consider this a basic failing of the product that:
-it works this way
-it's non-obvious that it works this way
You just need to 'know' that you need to do a Clean and/or delete the
build
folder every time you switch build styles.
I completely agree with everything you said.
Things work the way you expect if you go the more difficult route of
using
separate targets instead.
Then you have to add new files to every target. Does Xcode have
something like CodeWarrior's Project Inspector where you can select a
bunch of files, then turn the checkboxes on/off to include them in each
target? That one feature of CW is worth the price of admission.
I remember my first Xcode 1.0 project. I bet I switched between using 2
build styles and 2 targets more than half a dozen times. Both have
their good points, but both also have their bad points. I wish they
would've done it a different way. I *still* can't decide which is
better, which means they still need to do some redesign on
targets/build styles to make them easier to understand and easier to
use.
