Hello, I’m an Xcode novice who has, off and on for a few years now, been trying to put together a project template for use when going through exercises in a C++ programming textbook I own a copy of and have not yet found myself
quite able to get this template to do what I want. I’ve asked around both in this Stack Overflow question
here (updated over time for new Xcode releases, though some answers lag behind this) and on the Slack
‘cpplang’ channel, but nobody seems to have enough experience with using Xcode’s template system to be able to provide advice. I’m using Xcode v8.2.1 on OS X v10.11.6 ‘El Capitan’ (I’d upgrade to Sierra, but I’m stuck on an incompatible machine for the time being.) Can anybody help me figure out what I’m doing wrong? I’m having two issues with what I’ve already got so far (linked to in
this comment on that Stack Overflow question and
here for good measure.) The first is that, upon creating a project from this template I’ve made, I get duplicate language-selection drop-down menus (shouldn’t the one defined in the template
override the default one…?) The second is that the project has contents in its lone C++ source file that I didn’t specify in the project template.
