What does putting something under "target dependencies" in Xcode do?

If have two targets, A and B… And say you give target A, a linked binary to a library, something like CoreLocation...

And then if you add target A to target B's "target dependencies", does that mean target B will automatically have CoreLocation?

I have often been confused with what adding things to target dependencies does, when to do it, why, etc.

No, it does not affect what is linked to a target. Adding A to B's dependencies means that if you tell Xcode to build B, it will first build A. The idea is that, for example, if A builds a library that is used in an app built by B, you probably want to have the most up to date version of the library before you build the app.
