How to create a 2nd app from a 2nd target in XCode?

So I created a simple project, which I can test as an iPhone app. Now I'd like to make a slight variation of it, with an iAd. I was able to duplicate the target and test to the iPhone, by managing schemes (http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/Xcode4UserGuide/Building/Building.html).

The issue is that no matter what scheme I test, I overwrite the other app. I'd like to be able to have two apps

living at the same time on my phone.

I want to avoid duplicating source files, because only the storyboard and the view controller are different, they both use the same images and model otherwise.

Any help is welcome!

I'm not currently on my Mac partition so sorry if I'm a bit off. I would add a new configuration for your app. Call it something like "Release Free". Add a gcc preprocessor symbol "FREE" to this configuration. Then everywhere you initialize and instantiate your iads put the code within some "#if" statements.

Something like this.

#if FREE
    // Init iAds
#endif

Have you tried changing the bundle identifier in the new target you just created? So your full version would have bundle identifier: "com.yourcompany.AppName" and your lite version will have a bundle identifier of: "com.youcompany.AppNameLite"
