I'm working with Cornerstone for versioning Xcode projects (among others).

I'm trying to figure out what files in my working copy should be ignored so I can work with other teammates on the same project, without loosing certificates, provisioning profiles, ...

Several developers need to be able to compile the same project for distribution.

I realize there are very similar questions out there already but I couldn't find enough justifications for the answers I've read.

I have not figured out how to manage the project.pbxproj for example. This file contains information about the project and the developer it seems...

Also, should I define global ignores on the SVN client or server?? I'm quite new to versioning so I'm sorry if my questions seem trivial.

Any help will be much appreciated. I'm looking for explanations more than pre-made answers.

Something like this https://stackoverflow.com/a/12021580/1491212 but adapted for SVN is what I seek...

  • It's not the files and types you'll want to ignore that will be different, it's the way you go about ignoring them. In subversion, you have svn:ignore, within a directory, like: svn propset svn:ignore "*.jpg" . Notice the entire command, and the last two arguments: what you're ignoring, then the context, in this case . which means current directory. – wkhatch Oct 24 '13 at 21:20
  • Thanks. I think I got that. My problem really is about knowing which files I should rule out and how (from client or server). – Armel Larcier Oct 25 '13 at 06:55
  • ah, I see; sorry. So, using the content at the link you posted, you can issue the svn propset svn:ignore "item from that link" . command at the top level of your project and you should be good. I'm not sure as I don't use it, but xcode's built in support for version control may provide some tools for helping with this, too. hope that helps – wkhatch Oct 25 '13 at 15:57
