I have no idea how you're "supposed to" do it, but what we do is create a Run Script Build Phase with the following script, and this works for us.

cd "$SRCROOT/path/to/your/other/project"
xcodebuild -project OtherProject.xcodeproj -target "My Target" - configuration Debug
exit


We also put the other project into Groups and Files for easy access to it.

OK, this is real basic, I think, and I even think I've done it before.
But it's not working now, and searching this list and google didn't
solve it for me. So I must be missing something or other really
obvious. Sorry, but:

How do you create dependent projects?

Just to be clear: what I mean by that is that clicking "Build All" in
one of them (the "parent") causes the other one ("child") to be built,
as well as the parent stuff.

I think the answer is "you drag the child project and drop it onto the
parent object."

But I must be doing something wrong, there, because I've done that a
bunch of ways, and none of them achieves the goal. Some don't do
anything at all, others seem to get close, but bottom line: building
parent does not build child.  Grrr.

My closest approach to date:
1. Open an Xcode window onto each of the two projects
2. Drag the "child" project icon (the blue Xcode document symbol) from
the "child" Groups & Files list
3. Hover over the "parent" project icon, noting that it turns blue and
hungry
4. drop
5. The usual "add stuff" sheet appears, asking such questions as
 - Copy items into destination? (answer provided: no)
 - Reference type: (default)
 - Text encoding: (unicode)
 - Recursively create groups (gray, selected)
 - Add to targets: ("All" is checked)
6. This causes the "child" icon to appear at the top of the G&F list
for Parent, which seems goodly
7. This does not cause anything to appear inside the parent's "All"
target/group
8. And, as I say, there's no build chaining

I tried dragging the child Xcode-doc icon into the target All, but it
never looked hungry, and dropping did nothing.
