Cocoa (OSX) and CocoaTouch (iPhone) components in the same Xcode project file?

Is it possible to have an Xcode project file which contains both the Cocoa (MacOSX) and CocoaTouch (iPhone) versions of a component?

Purpose of methods that only call super?

In Xcode, a lot of the auto-generated class files (especially those for UIViewController subclasses) will include methods that resemble the following: - (void)dealloc { [super dealloc] } To me, this seems fairly pointless - if all a method is going to do is call super, why have it at all? Is there a purpose to these methods being g...

Google Code or SourceForge for smaller XCode, Objective-C project?

Which would be a more appropriate repository to host a small, XCode, Objective-C based project? Both appear to offer SVN, which XCode likes. The documentation and issue tracking systems would surely accommodate a small project. A Google search surfaces a number of opinions preferring Google Code, but the motivations seem to be somewhat 2...

Why does Xcode's autocomplete always think my properties are int?

I've been seeing this for well over a year and I can't figure out if it's a bug or I'm doing something wrong. When I declare a property in one of my classes like @property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *aString; And I go to use this somewhere else like myObject.aStr[ESC] When the list pops down with all the suggestions, aString is ...

What automated build system do Mac developers use?

Hi, my team is currently using buildbot to automate overnight and continuous-integration builds and regression tests. For builds and unit tests, the builder just invokes a script which syncs the sources from p4 and then runs xcodebuild.

Does XCode have a cursor navigation stack like Visual Studio?

Visual Studio tracks cursor positions and lets you move forward and backward through these positions. For example, you can type Ctrl+- to navigate backwards and Ctrl+Shift- to navigate forwards. I see that XCode tracks the history of which files you've visited, but does it also allow me to go forward and backward through the cursor loc...

What's your method for this... wiping out your DocumentsDirectory during iPhone development?

I'm sure there is a better way to do this. I have this chunk of code that I use to wipe out the DocumentsDirectory on an iPhone or Simulator.

Enabling tabs in xcode? Or lessening the pain of not having them?

I am currently using xcode and I find it's lack of tabs quite disturbing. I currently use command-shift-d to search through all the files, or ctrl-1 to open the history of files that were recently opened. It works but I find it less effective than just tabbing through the few files i am currently working on. Is there any way, third pa...
