cef build from source : generate xcode project

Background:

  1. I followed the instructions provided here: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/MasterBuildQuickStart.md
  2. From the steps I could clone CEF,Chromium and then build "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" and "CefClient.app" sample application as expected.

Note:

  1. we donot intend to use binary distribution available from cefbuilds.com, since we intend to experiment/work within "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" aswell.

Questions :

  1. Is there a way to create an XCode project that we can use to work with the CefClient.app sample application source code ? (project can link to "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework")
  2. If the above is not possible, Should I try to use the XCode.proj generated from a closest binary distribution and use it here - Is this valid ? Is there a better option ?

I was able to generate the XCode project by making a release distribution out of the build outputs that I generated earlier. https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/BranchesAndBuilding.md#markdown-header-manual-packaging

Once a release distribution is created, XCode project can be created by running the command :

cmake -G "Xcode" -DPROJECT_ARCH="x86_64"

inside the release distribution directory.

Note: I got this answer from CEF forum: http://magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=14546
