Changing the Team setting of an iOS project at build time

Question

I want to be able to change the Team used for code signing an iOS target at build time, using a configuration, build variable or similar mechanism. As far as I can tell, the only way to access the Team setting is via the dropdown in the target's "General" configuration tab, and it is stored in the project file. Right now, I have created a second target with another team set, which is a lot of duplicated settings to just change this one parameter.

Is there a more flexible way to control the Team setting?

Found a solution to this? I'm looking to change the Team and Build Settings using command line — Sarthak Singhal, Sep 28 '15 at 10:23

You can achieve this using shell scripting by changing the DevelopmentTeam variable in your .pbxproj file. Simply fetch the current team using -

awk -F '=' '/DevelopmentTeam/ {print $2; exit}' project.pbxproj

Replace that using sed with your new development team replacing its 10-digit certificate id.

sed -i '' 's/old_team_cert_id/new_team_cert_id/g' project.pbxproj

Works for me. `sed` may be useful for making other changes in the project as well; I had forgotten about old-school Unix tools. – jbelkins Dec 01 '15 at 16:06
Yes, `awk` and `sed` can be easily used to replace other parts in the project as well. – Sarthak Singhal Dec 02 '15 at 06:00
