I'm not familiar with the term "area of Xcode," but I assume you mean
project settings vs. target settings.
The distinction isn't useful with single-target projects, but it's
vital for multiple-target settings. Think of a project that has three
targets. One of the settings is the name of the executable, which you
obviously need to be different for the different targets. On the
other hand, all three should use the SDK for the same version of the
OS (simplifying); it is convenient to be able to set the SDK project-
wide.
Further, it is convenient to use different settings for different
uses for the product -- debugging versus distribution. You set the
purpose with the build configuration. You select settings for a
configuration with the menu at the top of the Build panel.
The authoritative listing of the settings for a target and
configuration -- the settings that will set the actual compiler
(etc.) flags -- is in the target Build panel. The settings that are
made by the target are shown in bold. That's the simple thing to
remember.
Admittedly, the product of number of targets times number of
configurations is complex. But it is no more complex (at most little
more complex) than it has to be.
