Re: Copying an Xcode project

We use xcconfig files to manage settings across all the projects - it works perfectly! Some projects have some different paths (for third party code), but mostly the only custom setting is the product name.

Having multiple projects also means that we can work better as a team - if everyone was modifying the core "project" it would be a nightmare. This way, everyone works on their own modules.

As always, YMMV, but multiple projects works well for us!

CHEERS,

STEVE.

The modules stand alone - it would be very confusing to have every source file for every module all in one enormous project with 70 targets!

Think that's a lot of targets? You should have seen our project before I changed it... :-)


How would it be more confusing? Xcode allows you to group and filter the files you work with.

The day you need to change something in all those projects - as a completely unbelievably hypothetical example, let's say that Xcode 2.3 requires you to upgrade all project files - you're going to regret not using targets.

The new xcconfig files have made target management soo much easier! I basically needn't maintain any per-target settings, it's all done via macro expansion in the per-target xcconfig files.

Anyway, that's my €0.02 worth.
