Is it possible to set a symbol for conditional compilation by setting up properties

  • 0

Is it possible to set a symbol for conditional compilation by setting up properties in an Xcode project?

My aim is to to create a symbol that is available to all files, without having to use import/include, so that a set of common classes can have a special behavior in some projects. Like the following, but with my own symbols.

#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR     ... #endif

    Go to your Target or Project settings, click the Gear icon at the bottom left, and select ‘Add User-Defined Setting’. The new setting name should be GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS, and you can type your definitions in the right-hand field.

    Per Steph’s comments, the full syntax is:

    constant_1=VALUE constant_2=VALUE 

    Note that you don’t need the ‘=’s if you just want to #define a symbol, rather than giving it a value (for #ifdef statements)
