Xcode Build Settings

It happened again.

Yes, I had to get an xcode build working on a server and the build parameters were causing problems. How do I overload these and set them on the command line?


  1. Go here: http://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/8.2/
  2. Click the Search Button in top right.
  3. Type in "Build Settings"
  4. Select the "Build Settings reference" page.
  5. There are the build settings you can override on the command line. Including some that are normally set in the Xcode project file. Which is handy when you need to override something in the Xcode project file but do not want to commit that change into your source control system.
