Xcode build parameters

I am looking at compiling building a simple app I have wrote using Objective C. Currently all the application does it print 'hello [dev|production]' on screen.

What I would like to do is able to add a build parameter into xcode so that if I build it with a dev flag then the output would be 'hello dev' else the output would be 'hello production'.

Can someone give me an code example or link to a resource which will allow me to do this.

The idea is not to distingusish between DEBUG and PRODUCTION but rather to be able to add values into the build process which will change the compiled application output.

You can add another value to your preprocessor Macros, here:

Something you can do is to have two plist files, with all the values you want to use in your application. If you are in debug mode use debug.plist file, otherwise release.plist. This allows you to better control what are you using in your application for each build.

You can find the configurations here:

(I used PlotCreator as an example... It's an open source lib)
