WWDC2010 Session314 Building and Distributing Your App with Xcode 4

This session covers: How to use the Xcode 4 interface to construct and edit projects and targets. How to construct schemes to build, launch, and archive apps, How to build workspaces to relate multiple projects and share schemes with others.

Editing project settings

When you click the project in the project navigator, you will see the project settings in the editor. It is well organized. If you don't know the meaning of an option, you can click 'Quick help for selected item' in the Help menu. If you have enabled Quick Help tab on the right panel, you will see the quick help there. Very convenient. I notice that the default compiler of a new project is set to LLVM Compiler 2.0.

Editing target settings

Editing target settings is similar to editing project settings. Good news is if you have several targets, you can select some of them to see the differences. In Combined view, the different option shows <Multiple values>. In Levels view, you can see the different value for each target. This is an awesome feature I like.

The editor of 'Run Script' build phase of a target setting now support color-highlighting.
