No.  Xcode does not have "sub-projects," it has "cross-project
references."

Thanks for the mentioning the Xcode terminology... let me ask again just to be sure:

There is no way to pass like a #define from an Xcode project to its
cross-project references with dependency?

Building a project on the other end of a cross-project reference is
almost completely identical to opening it by hand, setting its active
build configuration to one with the same name as in your original
project, and clicking the build button.

I think I have set it up correctly with I attempt to pass info/data/#define around...

For what you're trying to do, I strongly recommend that you learn how
to build a framework that you can embed in your application instead.
A framework carries its header files with it, which means that you'll
always have up-to-date headers based on what the framework itself
supports.

I don't see the benefit to use framework over a static library. Are you suggesting to build "TheLib" as framework with multiple version so that "The App" can compile and link with specific as its wish?
