I have a project where I use two build settings predominantly. Unfortunately today something went wrong. One compiles and the other doesn't. How can I compare the two build settings in XCode to see what the differences are?
(For those interested, the error I get in one build is
jump to case label crosses initialization of 'const char* selectorName'
if you know what this means I'll be very grateful )
Your project configuration is stored in the directory (package) of:
YourAppName.xcodeproj
Open up terminal and cd into that directory. You'll find some .plist format files:
project.pbxproj username.pbxuser
You can do a diff on these files with your other project. But you probably have issues with your source code in reality. Do you have a switch case you are using? Do you declare any variables in the switch? If so, are you using brackets, {}?
You probably declare a variable inside a case without wrapping it all in a brace:
case foo:
const char* selectorName;
// ...
break;
Should be:
case foo: {
const char* selectorName;
// ...
break;
}
In 2022 and Xcode 13 if it's a scenario with multiple targets within the same project you can just Shift + Click the targets you want to compare and enable Levels in the filter bar.
