The Xcode project generates Prefix.pch file automatically. When I deleted this file and tried to build, I got build error saying ‘*_Prefix.pch’ file is missing.

    In Xcode, go to your target’s build settings (Command-Option-E, build tab) and uncheck Precompile Prefix Header (GCC_PRECOMPILE_PREFIX_HEADER). You can also remove the value of the Prefix Header setting if you wish.

    Prefix headers are compiled and stored in a cache, and then automatically included in every file during compilation. This can speed up compilation, and lets you include a file without adding an import statement to every file using it. They are not required, and actually slow compilation whenever you change them.
