I'm probably asking a very elementary Xcode question, but here it goes. My layout has no 'Build Phase' tab. I might have inadvertently changed my layout. A lot of tutorials state that you should go to the Build Phase tab and link to a library. Well, I've Clicked on the Target, and the File under the Target, Searched the Toolbar, searched the project settings, Info. When I right click on the Target File I get a list including "Copy Build Phase" and Add Build Phase, but that's not giving me access to the Build Phase Tab. I've tried 'reset to default or factory layout'.....Build Phase Tab. How can I display the layout with a Build Phase tab in the toolbar, and save it to utilize in my projects? By the way I'm using XCode 3.2 maybe it's a version limitation?
It sounds like those tutorials are for Xcode 4. For your version, if you open the target in the sidebar, there should be some groups. Those are your build phases. Just drag the library into the one that says something like "Link Executable", or click the checkbox to add it to your target and it should go there automatically.

I've migrated my app into Xcode 11.
I want to remove legacy resources that copied at Build Phase, but I can't find old Build Phase menu.
Please make sure that you have selected Target instead of Project.
The problem is that you have the project selected (in the "project and targets list", which may be a collapsed pane for your Xcode).
So first, make sure the button to the far left of the "Info" tab shown in your screenshot is toggled on (so you can see your project and targets list).
Then simply select a target. Now you'll see the Build Phases tab. Only the targets of a project have build phases.
Note: If you don't like to keep the targets list shown, you can simply use the popup menu next to the pane's toggle button - which appears when the pane is not shown - to toggle from project to a target.
I just downloaded the XCode 6.1 seed.
I am have this issue with one specific project.
The project information view is absolutely different.
The General, Build phases sections are all missing.
All I can see is info and build setting.
Anyone else faced this issue?
None of my other old projects has this issue.
It's a sneaky one - you click the show/hide Project Targets List icon and it pops out the Project name and its targets underneath.
Click one of those and you'll get the Build Phases option showing up.
OP's problem was that the Build Phases did not show up when opening the project settings.
Simple Fix:
Expand the left side bar.
Your project file is selected. (in my case it's called "opengl-series")
This is the problem.
You want to select the App. (in my case "CGTutorial")
Build phases now shows, along with the other settings.
My documentation says
Click on the target and add pgmName.a on General settings of the
target Info.
I don't see a General settings, although I see Architectures, Build Locations, etc under build settings. And there's an info tab and a summary tab, but I don't see a General settings.
Xcode 4 no longer has this tab setup. You'll want to add pgmName.a to the Link Binary With Libraries step under the Build Phases tab of the target. If you're seeing Info and Summary tabs instead of Build Settings, Build Phases, and Build Rules, click on the target rather than the project in the left panel (under TARGETS rather than PROJECT.)
In Xcode 3, I had a list of targets in the left column. They're not there anymore. There's a list in the Scheme pull-down, but I can't find them anywhere else. Have they changed name to "Schemes"?
Click the button as below images
Targets are still there. Click on the project (the very first object in the tree) in the project navigator and you'll get a view with project settings on the right and targets on the left.
Click on the top level item in the left hand project view - it will show you the project and the targets in the main pane - along with their configurations
No, targets and schemes are not the same thing. Your targets are still there: in the navigator in the left, click on the Project icon (it says "1 target, iOS SDK 4.3" or something similar underneath the usual .xcodeproject icon). THe main view now shows the project editor, where you can see and edit all your targets.
Schemes are basically ways to aggregate targets in useful ways when performing common actions like building and testing.
Yep, they are inside "Schemes" now. Each scheme can contain differing targets/build configurations.
If you click the dropdown and choose "Edit Scheme..." where your targets used to be in Xcode 3, then click "Run AppName..." or "Test" in the left side tree, under the "Info" tab you'll find the Build Configuration dropdown that contains Debug, Release, etc. in addition to the target Executable.
Im playing around with the soundcloud api, in its instructions it says to
drag SoundCloudAPI.xcodeproj into your project
add it as a build dependency
I can drag the project in pretty easily, but how does one accomplish the next step?
To add it as a dependency do the following:
Highlight the added project in your file explorer within xcode. In the directory browser window to the right it should show a file with a .a extension. There is a checkbox under the target column (target icon), check it.
Right-Click on your Target (under the targets item in the file explorer) and choose Get Info
On the general tab is a Direct Dependencies section. Hit the plus button
Choose the project and click Add Target
Select your project in the navigator on left.
Open up the drawer in the middle pane and select your target.
Select Build Phases
Target Dependencies is an option at that point.
Tough one for a newbie like me - here is a screenshot that describes it.
Xcode 10.2.1
Under TARGETS in your project, right-click on your project target (should be the same name as your project) and choose GET INFO, then on GENERAL tab you will see DIRECT DEPENDENCIES, simply click the [+] and select SoundCloudAPI.
Just close the Project you want to add , then drag and drop the file .
Xcode add a project as a dependency
Xcode 10
drag-n-drop a project into another project - is called cross-project references[About]
add the added project as a build dependency - is called Explicit dependency[About]
//Xcode 10
Build Phases -> Target Dependencies -> + Add items
//Xcode 11
Build Phases -> Dependencies -> + Add items
In Choose items to add: dialog you will see only targets from your project and the sub-project
Today I faced with the same problem.
As the result of the first run I got next error:
Lexical or Preprocessor Issue: 'SDKProjectName*/*SDKProjectName.h'
file not found.
But before running, I, obviously, added my SDK into the demo project, just drag&drop .xcodeproj file into my test project's source tree. After that, I moved into Build Phases tab in setting of the main xcodeproj file (of the demo) and added my SDK as target dependency and embed framework into corresponding tabs.
But at the result, I got an error above!
So, the problem was into empty line on the Header Search Paths option. I just wrote "../**" as value for this key and project compiled successfully. So, after that, you can add #include <SDKName/SDKName.h> into any project, which includes this SDK.
ps. My test app was created into root SDK folder.
