In my project there are around 8000 source files and around 1000 xib's in a cocoa desktop application. It takes around 4 minutes to build and launch the application every time if I make any change in a single source file. Is there any way to speed up the build process in xcode?

1Touching one single .m file shouldn't magically rebuild all "`.o`" files. Is there something about your project that cleans the project before it builds? Or are you using a way underpowered Mac (e.g. a MacMini)? – Michael Dautermann Feb 14 '14 at 04:10

If you're compiling for Mavericks, you can take advantage of new technologies like "@import" instead of "#import", and if you have multiple machines around the office you can use Xcode's Distributed Build feature, which is freaking cool!

thanks for the -1! @import also works with compiling for Mavericks. – Michael Dautermann Feb 14 '14 at 04:52

@import is quite nice, but from the linked answer I understand it only brings benefits when importing Apple's own frameworks? – insys Feb 14 '14 at 14:07

no worries @rmaddy, I kinda deserved that downvote… it was my fault for typing too fast to realize that the o.p. was talking about the MacOS SDK and not iOS. – Michael Dautermann Feb 14 '14 at 15:39

You might be able to create libraries out of some sections of your code. Then you create a separate Xcode project for each of these libraries.
