xcconfig Files

Episodes
#1
In this episode we extract all of the settings from a standard iPhone project and move them over to a .xcconfig file for Xcode to use as a base for our projects. Doing so can make our configuration a bit more explicit, allow us to add comments on why certain settings are necessary, and also to put them under version control to make it easy to spot changes.

hi Ben,

Whats the difference between Application.xcconfig and Shared.xcconfig ?

I saw that Shared.xcconfig was included from Debug and Release. So couldn’t the settings in Shared be moved up to Application.xcconfig too ?

The only difference is that Application.xcconfig was applied as the parent config defined on the Project level and the Debug/Release were defined at the target level.

If there are settings that only make sense at the target level, then you’d want to set those in the Shared config.
