What about Frameworks and bundles?
I want code to copy in the debug Framework into my debug application,
and the release Framework into my release application.
Don't I have to use the copy files build phase to do this? The copy
files build phase seems to be target dependent.

I'm porting an application from Codewarrior, which incorporates a
static library that comes in both debug and release flavors
(mylib_d.a, and mylib.a). How can I add these files to the
respective debug and release build configurations in my project,
such that the debug configuration links to mylib_d.a, and the
release configuration links to mylib.a?
XCode only seems to want to add the libraries to both
configurations at once (or neither), but obviously I need to match
up debug to debug and release to release. Any suggestions?
The best way to do this is to use a shared build folder between the
project that builds the static library and the project that builds
its clients. Both projects should have Debug and Release
configurations (the names are arbitrary, but should be the same in
each project).
When you build the static library's Debug configuration, it will
build into $(SYMROOT)/Debug/mylib.a, and when you build Release, it
will build into $(SYMROOT)/Release/mylib.a. Note that the library
names are the same but they're in per-configuration directories, much
like CodeWarior puts per-target intermediates into per-target
directories.
Then drag the static library project and drop it into your app
project. When you disclose it, it will show that it builds foo.a.
Drag that into the Link Binaries with Libraries build phase of your
target.
Then when you build the Debug configuration of your app, it will use
the Debug build folder, and automatically pick up the Debug static
library, and the same for the Release configuration.
If you really want the files in the same place and named differently,
then you have to use separate targets for your Debug and Release
versions of your app (and probably use just one configuration). Add
the mylib_d.a static library to the Debug target and the mylib.a
static library to the Release target, just like in CodeWarrior.
