Info.plist preprocessing and header dependency


  • Subject: Info.plist preprocessing and header dependency

Hello all,

I have two completely projects (one builds a Cocoa application, the other an InDesign plug-in) which share versioning information. I have a single header file "versions.h" that I share between the two projects and is included in both projects but in no targets in either.

I set up the following settings in both of the projects:

	INFOPLIST_EXPAND_BUILD_SETTINGS = YES
	INFOPLIST_FILE = Application-Info.plist
	INFOPLIST_OTHER_PREPROCESSOR_FLAGS =
	INFOPLIST_OUTPUT_FORMAT = same-as-input
	INFOPLIST_PREFIX_HEADER = versions.h
	INFOPLIST_PREPROCESS = YES
	INFOPLIST_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS =

where only the INFOPLIST_FILE is different between the projects.

The problem I am having is that Xcode doesn't seem to rebuild the used Info.plist when I make a change in versions.h. I notice that in the build folder there is a Preprocessed-Info.plist file which looks something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd ">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
<string>English</string>
<key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
<string>${EXECUTABLE_NAME}</string>
<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
<string>1.0fc4, © 2008-2009 Xinet Inc.</string>
<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
<string></string>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.xinet.webnative.browser</string>
<key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
<string>6.0</string>
<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string>
<key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
<string>APPL</string>
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
<string>1.0fc4</string>
<key>CFBundleSignature</key>
<string>WN-B</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1.0fc4</string>
...
</dict>
</plist>


which looks like it has been been pre-processed but has not had the build settings expanded yet.

Any idea how I can force Xcode to rebuild Info.plist when I change something in the INFOPLIST_PREFIX_HEADER?

Thanks,
Nick
