XCode - Automatically add all files in a folder to a target

Question

In XCode, is there a way to specify that all files in a folder are compiled by a target. Eg. the 'Test' target automatically compiles all files in the 'Tests' folder, whereas the 'App' target compiles everything in the 'Sources' folder. Today, the way I'm doing it, is to add a file to a target everytime I create it. This feels a bit error prone and redundant since the files are already organized in the correct folders.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes - just select all the files in the folder and use the inspector window (targets tab).

Xcode is extensible using shell scripts. You can set the shell script to run at build time so you can basically make xcode do anything you want. You're only limited by your shell scripting abilities and I'm sure you can find help for that too.
