I remember reading that the company setting in your addressbook "me" item also gets picked up if you don't set it by the defaults.

If you haven't set a "me" card with company, then you get the default.

Hm, hadn't thought of that. If there's more than one expandable macro, there might have to be UI providing options to set them all when creating the project. I don't know if this would be so bad (I think I'd be fine with it), but it would have to be considered carefully.

I don't think this would be too bad ether; as long as it's default value was
from PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions (or the address book after that?).


Personally, I just set the PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions default
(if I
want to change it) before I create a new project:

defaults read com.apple.XCode
PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions           {
  FULLUSERNAME = "George Warner";
  ORGANIZATIONNAME = "Apple, Inc.";
}

Done! (ship it! ;-)

You put your whole project in main.m? Cool! :)

Not; I usually just use the above; when I do need a different org I just do
a global search & replace before committing to SVN/CVS.
