Xcode preprocessor definitions (not per project)

Question

I want to have preprocessor definitions for each machine with Xcode, so no matter what project I open certain definitions will be there. Say in first office I want to have

#define SERVER_IP 10.20.10.20

in other office

#define SERVER_IP 192.168.10.20

etc...

So the projects are exactly same, just Xcode environment would provide those definitions to the project. Is there such possibility in Xcode?

Answer 1

You could just define a prefix header file and set the name of that file in the Xcode project. The contents of the prefix header file could then be different for different offices. Note however that this kind of thing is usually not a good idea - you shouldn't be embedding settings in your code - use preferences for this kind of thing.
