If you're going to have a staging environment, it would seem appropriate

Likewise for Test. Therefore I'd be very hesitant to use different
configurations for each—it's multiplies the opportunity for settings to
get out of sync.

Ah, that feels like sound reasoning _not_ to use "Configuration".

Rather, I'd have the app determine its environment by reading some sort
of external configuration file, and have setting up that configuration
file be part of the _deployment_ process. If it's not set, the app fails
to launch.

Thanks.

I was hoping to use "schemes" as an indicator as to which deployment-environment to target.

Schemes have actions - each of which have a pre and post slot. Maybe I could write a bash script to copy a scheme specific (deployment-environment specific) plist file into the target ... but I don't want the user to have to copy and paste it into every possible build/run/test/profile/analyze/archive slot of every single scheme.

But now I wonder, do actions like Analyze and Archive _implicitly_ invoke the Build action? Maybe I only need it in the Build action per scheme?

Even better, I would prefer this script to run at the Target/Build Phases or Build Rules level - but I'm just not sure of a simple convention to follow to determine the deployment-environment. I was trying to leverage Schemes but I don't see any key/value pairs put into the process space to lookup.

Thanks again for the turnaround!
