Removing files with Build Phase?

Is it possible to remove a file using a build phase in xcode 4 based on if it is release or dev?

If so has anyone got an example?

I have tried :

      if [ "${CONFIGURATION}" = "Debug" ]; then
      find "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR" -name '*-live.*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm
      fi

This prints CopyStringsFile 

 "build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Blue Sky.app/PortalText-live.strings" CDL/PortalText-live.strings
cd "/Users/internet/Desktop/iPhone Template/iPhonePortalTemplate/CDL.Labs"
setenv PATH "/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin:/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
builtin-copyStrings --validate --inputencoding utf-8 --outputencoding binary --outdir "/Users/internet/Desktop/iPhone Template/iPhonePortalTemplate/CDL.Labs/build/Debug-iphonesimulator/Blue Sky.app" -- CDL/PortalText-live.strings

But does actually remove the file from the bundle.

The only way I've ever had different files, is having a separate Target, and only include certain files in certain targets.

EDIT WITH AN EXAMPLE

Ok, I've done exactly the same in another project. We had a DefaultProperties.plist file, which was included in the target.

We then had 3 copies of this, NOT included in the target, ProdProperties.plist, TestProperties.plist, UatProperties.plist.

We built for environments on the command line, using xcodebuild, as it was built using an automated build server (Bamboo).

Prior to executing xcodebuild, we would run this:

cp -vf "./Properties/Environments/${environment}Properties.plist" ./Properties/shared/DefaultProperties.plist
touch Properties/shared/DefaultProperties.plist

with $(environment) being passed into the script.

You could do something like this with the RunScript phase in Xcode.
