How to build multiple “Xcode”  projects using shell script.

We are often in a situation where our Mac project involves several XCode projects and building them individually can be a lot of effort.

If you are a build engineer the following shell script can be handy.

Example :-

Step 1.1 – Absolute source path of XCode projects.

1) AnimatingViews=$scriptPath"/Developer/Examples/AppKit/AnimatingViews"

2) CircleView=$scriptPath"/Developer/Examples/AppKit/CircleView"

 Step 1.2 – Change directory & run the configuration command for build the xcode project.

 1  For Release build

 cd "$AnimatingViews"

xcodebuild -configuration Release -target  AnimatingViews

 cd "$CircleView"

xcodebuild -configuration Release -target  CircleView

  2 For Debug build

cd "$AnimatingViews"

xcodebuild -configuration Debug -target  AnimatingViews

 cd "$CircleView"

xcodebuild -configuration Debug -target  CircleView
