Thanks Greg. That's not quite what I was after. All of my projects currently have Debug and Release build configs defined. I need to add new build configs Foo and Bar to all of them and I'm looking for some way to do that in one place. As near as I can tell I really need to open every project and edit the build configurations for that project and hope that I don't make any typing errors in the process (so they all have the same name and dependent builds will work correctly).


Xcode is AppleScriptable. Since the actions are repetitive and have identical parameters (name, etc.), you might be able to script some or all of the repetitive parts, then finish the task with minor manual actions. It depends on how many projects you really have. Under 10, it may not be worth scripting. Dozens or hundreds, it probably would be. That's because the script itself would have to be tested and debugged, and that takes time.

I'd still base the build configurations on a common xcconfig file, one for Foo and one for Bar, because that seems like the best way to avoid having to repeat this process. The choice of xcconfig file is also scriptable, i.e. the 'build configuration' object has a 'configuration settings file' property
