You're scaring me now.
I'm wondering how we manage the migration of a group of developers working on multiple projects from Panther/Xcode 1.5 to Tiger/Xcode 2.0 ?

We have a large team of developers using Xcode, and we usually solve this unfortunate problem by setting a date where all have to change to the new version of Mac OS X + new version of Xcode.


You can upgrade to the new OS+Xcode platform ahead of your fellow developers, as long as you don't check in your project file modifications to CVS.

Do Xcode project files get irreversibly changed when you move from 1.5 to 2.0, or can you open a 1.5 project in 2.0, make changes and then open it again later in 1.5 ?

When I've asked about this in the past, Apple has responded that it's not supported to share projects with older versions of Xcode.
While they say that "the project file format has not changed", that doesn't mean that they haven't added new keys+values to the newer version of Xcode - and what an older version of Xcode will do with these keys is probably undefined.




Thanks for the confirmation - that's pretty much as I feared - the only way i can see this working in practice is if we make all developer machines have two disks or partitions, one with OS X 10.3 and XCode 1.5, the other with OS X 10.4/XCode 2.0. I think we'll probably also need to maintain two versions of every current Xcode project in parallel for some time, which is going to be rather painful.
