I have MainMenu.nib and MainMenu(Debug).nib in a Cocoa document app

the MainMenu(Debug).nib when PreprocessorMacros has a value
associated with the debug configuration.
The only example I've found is AppeanceSample: a Carbon app which
does not have <key>NSMainNibFile</key> <string>MainMenu</string> in
the Info.plist. This key/value pair may be my problem.
How do you dynamically select between two version of MainMenu.nib in
a Cocoa document app?
Having extra menu items added to your debug builds is not an uncommon
practice. Most of the time though, developers choose to not replace
the whole menu, but rather just add a special "Debug" menu at the end
of their regular menu bar.
You could load this debug menu from a nib file, but I would probably
suggest that you just create and insert it programatically. See the
API in NSApplication (for how to get a reference to the main menu),
and the API in NSMenu & NSMenuItem (for how to create and insert the
menu).
