    • A project is a set of files and general preferences.
    • A target is a subset of the files, and specific preferences (which override the project preferences).
    • Each target builds a product, which may be a library, executable, or framework.
    • Because a target builds something, it also has Build Phases and Build Rules, where you can add dependencies, and refine what gets copied where and how.

    It’s a good thing to have both because it lets you create different products from the same set of files. As an example, you can target different architectures/devices, or build a testing product which runs unit tests against your code.
