Strange behavior of Xcode Build Products Path under Build Locations

Question

I've been looking for an answer but I couldn't find so I'm posting the question here.

Every Project I created under Xcode4 gets the exactly the same "Build Products Path" under the project or target settings - Build Locations

I wonder if this is because I did something back in Xcode 3 and somehow permanently set the value ?

I have uninstall completely and re-install from scratch and still the same thing.

I just created 3 brand new ios projects (windows based) under the xcode4 and those all have the exactly same value for Build Products Path... in my case, it's always pointing to

/Users/RebeccaKennedy/Documents/Projects/iPhone/tmp

every time! every project... this is getting really annoying...

Answer 1

1. Close all your projects in Xcode, but leave Xcode open
2. Open up ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dt.Xcode.plist
3. Find the key: IDEApplicationwideBuildSettings
4. Delete the two items in that key
5. Save, restart Xcode

be careful w/ step two. the .dt. is for Xcode 4. without the dt is for Xcode 3.

This is almost certainly the result of Xcode migrating old preferences to 4 from 3.

Answer 2

You haven't said what you've tried...but check this setting in Xcode Preferences.

I assume you've check these two locations (search for tmp)?
