Andrew Grieve commented on CB-675:
----------------------------------
(moving response from mailing-list to JIRA now that it's alive again)
Having to run make before, and having it modify xcode settings is a bit
troublesome I think. It would be really great if a generated project would work
without having to modify xcode's source locations. For example, on my last
project we had a shared build machine that we could ssh into and use xcodebuild
to ensure our patches compiled cleanly. It would be pretty tricky to ssh in,
set the project source location, build, and clean up afterwards.
Since bin/create knows where its installation is (since the script is within
the installation), how about it sets up the CordovaLib subproject without any
source variable indirection.
If users move their CordovaLib directory or want to switch to another version,
they can update the path to the sub-project using XCode. The icon right under
"Relative to Group" on the right-hand side lets you change the path of the
sub-project entry.

> There is one thing that is driving me crazy with PhoneGap. Currently in OSX,
> the Xcode project always references the machine's PhoneGap library. For a
> single project, this is fine. If you have multiple projects on your machine,
> and they use different versions of the PhoneGap SDK, then there is no way to
> easily manage the correct version of the SDK. Whether your project is
> PhoneGap 1.5 or 1.7, it will reference the last installed SDK. If you try
> and run a PhoneGap 1.5 app on a machine where you last installed the 1.7 RC,
> then the 1.5 app is likely to have errors (compiler errors from changes in
> the SDK, as well as JS errors). It would be great to have either versioned
> SDK libraries so that you can have multiple PhoneGap versions installed at
> the same time, or have a reference to the PhoneGap library in each project,
> so that installing a new SDK doesn't break older projects.
