Skipping the 'CompressResources' build step for Xcode iPhone apps

Question

Is it possible to set an iPhone Xcode project to skip the \'CompressResources\' build step?

Specifically, I want to skip the stage where it runs pngcrush on all of m

Answer 1

If you look at the build output you'll see that the CompressResources step runs the script /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/iphoneos-optimize. This appears to be just a shell script that runs pngcrush and compiles plists into binary format. You could probably modify this script to not run pngcrush.

Note that someone in this thread noticed that if they did not run their icon file through pngcrush it wasn't showing up on the phone.

Interestingly, the version of pngcrush in the directory of the script has a -iphone argument. Anybody know if this is standard or something Apple just ships with their build of it?
