I've added Info.plist files to my single-file tool products as

as has been reported by K. Moskowski [2], Info.plist preprocessing
does not work.
Apparently, this technique embeds the Info.plist into the product
executable. But when I examine the product with otool -sv __TEXT
__info_plist, I see that the ${YADDA.YADDA} symbols are still in there
even after I delete the product, touch the Info.plist source, clean,
rebuild, etc.
I hope maybe someone can tell me the trick I'm missing, because I have
had trouble in the past getting Xcode to "notice" Info.plist changes.
Otherwise, if no one replies with a reason why this should not work as
expected I'll file a bug next week. This is Xcode 3.1.2.
Thanks,

I tried the plist compiler tool that was suggested in the thread Jerry
mentioned, but it turned out to be overkill for what I needed to do.
For my needs, defaults served the purpose.
First, I added a shell script build phase to my tool's target:
# copy the plist from the source dir to the build dir
PLIST="$CONFIGURATION_TEMP_DIR"/My-Info
cp "$SRCROOT/My-Info.plist" "$PLIST.plist"
# change the values in the copy
defaults write "$PLIST" Key1 Value1
defaults write "$PLIST" Key2 Value2
# echo the result to the build log
defaults read "$PLIST"
Then I changed the Other Linker Flag in the target to use the
customized Info.plist:
-sectcreate __TEXT __info_plist "$(PROJECT_TEMP_DIR)/$(CONFIGURATION)$
(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME)/My-Info.plist"
I filed a bug asking for an Xcode enhancement to enable Info.plist
preprocessing for tools. It was closed as a duplicate of rdar://
4722772, in case anyone wants to increase.
