The answer I got the last time I asked this question is no, the
format is not publicly available but they've received many requests
for it.
If you are going to reverse engineer it, you may want to look at the
sources for the qmake utility that is part of the Trolltech Qt
application framework. It generates Xcode projects pretty well. Make
sure you look at the Qt 4 sources; I don't think the Qt 3 version
supports Xcode 2.1.

Hi,
Is the format of the Xcode project file in the public domain.
For Xcode v2.1 I need to be able to generate Xcode project files on
the
fly for a cross platform build engine. So far I see that
the .xcodeproj
is a package which contains three files.
Two are user prefs info which can be safely ignored, the third, always
named, project.pbxproj is in original plist format. It seems that
Xcode
can accept this if it's converted to XML using plutil so that makes
life
easier.
I would like to understand the XML object hierarchy which is used in
order to regenerate it from my build environment. I've contacted
DTS but
the official line is that if it's not on the web site then the
document
doesn't exist! Helpful, not?
I can see a reverse engineering coming on but I'd prefer not if
someone
out there can help.
