I would just like to find out from some more experienced developers what the proper setup should be for the following situation.

We are building iOS apps from the App Store. The base code should be the same for the various apps, as the functionality is the same. However, each one should receive different pre-compiler information (which I know is easy via the plist file, so no problem there). Now, each of the apps should have different resources. Images, sounds etc etc. (Currently I have all the resources in different folders, named the same so I can just drop it in at any time and the app will change, but it seems…. dirty to say the least).

Should I create the initial version, then create new targets and copy everything over? Or should we duplicate the target? How then do I specify the different resource folders?

Thanks

Do you suggest the following:

CORE_PROJECT
 |
 |-- APP 1 PROJECT
 |    |-- target -> free
 |    |-- target -> paid
 |
 |-- APP 2 PROJECT
 |    |-- target -> free
 |    |-- target -> paid
 ...

and then the CORE project just should not have any targets? Simply the shared sources? Seems logical to me. Any other comments?

    you can embed a project inside a project. so you could have a core project, and then embed it in your parent more specific project. this way you should be able to reference the same core code but build different targets.
