How to compile a project with app and library in the same workspace with different configuration names?

Question

I am developing an app and I am using an open source component.

I have a workspace containing both MyApp.xcodeproj and Component.xcodeproj. My app

Answer 1

I solved it in the following way,

In my dependency project, Project -> Target -> Build Phases, added new Run Script

TARGET_DIR="Build"
TARGET_FILE="${TARGET_DIR}/${FULL_PRODUCT_NAME}"
mkdir -p ${TARGET_DIR}
rm -rf ${TARGET_FILE}
cp -rf "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${FULL_PRODUCT_NAME}" ${TARGET_DIR}

After the every build, I copy the build to my Build directory inside the project. And from the main project, Project -> Target -> General, I drag and dropped the dependency Framework (which is inside dependency project's Build folder) then, Project -> Target -> Build Settings -> Framework Search Paths, under my custom Build Configuration, I added the following

$(PROJECT_DIR)/../DependencyProject/Build

The folder is relative to my main project, and this should be relative to your project. Then in my all the schemes, I added a Pre-actions script for Build with

rm -Rf "${PROJECT_DIR}/../DependencyProject/Build"

Also you need to select the app against Provide build settings from drop down.
