恢复XCode中的项目设置

Question

How can I restore Xcode project settings? I can't see few settings (like Targeted Device Family, iPhone OS Deployment Target, etc.) after I gave my Macbook to my friend. :(

I also saw that the info.plist file was not in the project, I recovered it via TimeMachine though, the Base SDK is also missing. :( She messed all things up, I don't know why she went in there. Anyways, is there any way to restore the settings?

Unfortunately, the snapshot that I have is also very old. :(

Answer 1

No way to restore them. You can set the base sdk on the project info screen.

Project > Edit Project Settings > Base SDK, Check the same for your Target.

Answer 2

Is this issue occurring for a specific project, or all projects? If you create a new project, what happens?

I forget the exact syntax, but different versions of XCode handle project files slightly differently. A new SDK (and version of XCode) couldn't read my project file right (same symptoms you explain).

In my case, there were 2 different SDK settings in the project file due to 2 separate versions of XCode editing the file (this could be very likely if you restored from backup and had upgraded SDKs in the interim).

Look for something like:

 SDKROOT = iphoneos4.2;

Or really, just look around the text that contains the build settings (all of your build settings are stored in the file in flat text) -- you may see something related to SDKs where there are 2 lines very similar right next to each other. That'd probably be your problem. If you don't know which to delete, try both and then re-set the setting using the interface.

Of course in any case, you should back up your project file ( project.pbxproj ) before trying any of this.
