I have a XCode project which has one Target as "ProjectName" & Two

I can think of doing this by creating new targets like
"ProjectName_Debug" & "ProjectName_Release".
Is there any other way also to do the same thing without creating
the new targets ?
The build phases of targets, and their member files, can not be made
to change based on the configuration.
There are a couple of possible solutions:
1) Don't put the library into the link phase as a member. Instead,
add it to the link command using the Other Linker Flags
(OTHER_LDFLAGS) build setting. That setting can be made to vary based
on the configuration. The form of the flag would be "-l<lib>", where
<lib> is the name of the library without its "lib" prefix or its
".dylib" extension. You might need to provide the directory
containing the library with the LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS build setting.
2) If the library is the product of another Xcode project, use the
cross-project reference feature of Xcode. The project for your app
(or whatever ProjectName is) would have a reference to the project
file for the library. The project for the library would have
configurations which matched the configurations of ProjectName. The
ProjectName target would have a dependency on the library target in
the library project. Lastly, the ProjectName target's link phase
would include a reference to the product of the library target (i.e.
the library).
In this configuration, Xcode will automatically use the library built
from the matching configuration -- the Debug library for the Debug
build of ProjectName and the Release library for the Release build of
ProjectName.
Search for "cross-project reference" in the Xcode documentation for
details.
Cheers,
Ken
