Where do Xcode projects get created? And can I change default location of a project?

I am new to Xcode. I use Eclipse however. Now I am creating my first project on Xcode but before I start, I like to setup a folder for all my Xcode projects.

I have three questions:

  1. By default, when I create a new project (say Project1). Where is the root Project1 folder created?

  2. Can I change that default location of where Project1 is created? So when I create Project2, it defaults to the same new modified location?

  3. How can I delete project? Is deleting the root folder sufficient?

Thanks.

Update:

I have just installed Xcode on a new MacBook and while testing I found out that when you create a new project the dialog will ask where to save the project, then creates a folder in that directory. Next time it will automatically default to the same directory, but you can change directory anytime you wish.

Apologies for the previous answer inadvertence.

Original answer:

  1. By default projects are saved in User/Documents/xCode
  2. Not that I'm aware of. Every time you create a new project a correspondent folder is created.
  3. Just delete the folder and its content.

Check out Preferences for all available settings. Pay special attention to "Accounts". Understanding now how Provisioning Profiles work may save some frustration later.

Additionally, consider using Pods for external libraries.
