I work on a project with several frameworks, plugins etc. Everything's fine for the main target A which creates the executable.
Now I want to get another target B with a similar version of the same executable, but without some distinct files and plugins, and - not copying all available languages (en, de, fr, cs, da, nl, it), but only copying three of them (en, de, fr).
I have duplicated target A and adjusted everything in B to not copy the unwanted files and plugins. But now I am stuck because I don't find a way to exclude the unwanted languages from my target B. Whenever I want to remove localized files from e.g. MainMenu.nib, the removed languages are also removed in target A - and even in the project.
How can I define that target A copies all available localized files of the project while target B should only copy the localized files for en, de and fr?
Any hint is appreciated.

Xcode doesn't provide for this kind of setup easily. The UI creates <lang>.lproj folders in your project when you declare a file to be localized, and the Copy Bundle Resources build phase always copies all localized resource folders. There's no fine-grain way to exclude a localized folder from the Copy Bundle Resources phase.


Here are some approaches:

- Build only in one language, and create a postprocessing step (perhaps another project, perhaps a shell script) to merge in other resources after the fact

- Remove the localized resources from the Copy Bundle Resources build phase, and instead create a Run Script build phase that copies them manually, perhaps conditionally based on the value of ${CONFIGURATION}.

Both of these will have the advantage that you don't have to keep two targets in synch.
