Answer 1

Xcode 8 and above

Use Active Compilation Conditions setting in Build settings / Swift compiler - Custom flags.

• This is the new build setting for passing conditional compilation flags to the Swift compiler.
• Simple add flags like this: ALPHA, BETA etc.

Then check it with compilation conditions like this:

#if ALPHA
    //
#elseif BETA
    //
#else
    //
#endif

Tip: You can also use #if !ALPHA etc.
