It doesn't seem like making changes to multiple build settings is exactly a wild programming practice. If so, Apple should note how many changes I can make in one session. Also, if they know that making changes to Xcode projects using their UI leads to corruption, that would be nice to tell us as well.

Did you read the "if..." part? SOP for isolating problems like this is to break the changes into smaller groups and test after each one. If you have to, make one change at a time, test it, and if it works check it into source control (on a branch if you must.) Then when it breaks, you'll know the specific change that did it, and can even send Apple the old and new project files.


Obviously this isn't expected to happen, but stuff happens and you have to be prepared to work around it.
