Xcode：在相同的目标（具有相同的plist）中构建两个应用

Question

Now I have 3 targets in my iOS application so I build 3 apps (3 ipa). But I want to keep only 3 target but I want to generate 6 apps (6 ipa).

On each target I want to create an app and a pilot app. I really want to keep only 1 plist for app and pilot app. Only differences with app and pilot app are :

• Bundle identifier (to install these two apps on the same device)
• Icon application
• 1 parameter in plist
• Few line in code (changing with #IF PILOT add code #ENDIF

It's important to keep the same plist for each target (a target is equivalent to en environment TEST, INT and PROD). Because if I duplicate my target in two target (PROD and PROD PILOT for example) it will be more difficult to maintain thes application because if a day I want to change something in plist I will do the same in PILOT target plist. So you understand it can create differences if I forget to dusplicate my changements.

Finally it will be great if I can build the app and the pilot app just in 1 build and generate 2 Archives in one time also.

Is it possible ? And have you ideas for the realisation ?

Me I have just fews ideas like :

• Add arguments in my target
• Add user defined setting
• Add preprocessing macros

Thanks

Answer 1

在项目设置下，对于每个目标，请在“构建设置”->“打包”下查看，尝试将所有info.plist文件设置为指向同一文件而不是其各自的版本。

Answer 2

If it is testing purpose, Try changing Bundle identifier in Project settings and change Product Name in build settings and take archive files. It will be deployed as separate app in device.

Answer 3

Thanks Fonix !

My solution use your advice. I duplicated my 3 targets but an app target and its pilot version are linked to the same plist file. Moreover, I had a preprocessor macro "PILOTE=1" in each pilote version. Finally I declare a string in user-defined to define my icon ("ICON -> icon.png or icon-pilote.png) and I declare in CFBundleIcon item0 -> ${ICON}).

And to add part of code I juste declare the code difference in :

#IFDEF PILOTE

//Code Pilot version

#ELSE

//Code standard version

#ENDIF

Is it a nice choice for my needs ?
