Hi Quincey,
yep, I'm pretty familiar with the Xcode build system and workspace
and project layouts.
Right now, this tree does not have an explicit workspace, so it has
the MyProject.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace file as you'd expect.
All of my Xcode global prefs for build locations are set to the normal
defaults - obviously if someone fiddles with theirs, there is not much
I can do about that, but I'm assuming that they haven't/won't, and
generally I think that will be fine.
We .gitignore all the per-user settings inside the tree - again,
someone could change these, and there's not much I can do about that,
but I'm talking about someone doing a fresh checkout, with default
settings.
If I create a new dummy project, then that gets "Default" as expected
to start with, and on fresh checkouts.
But there seems to be *something* about this project that causes it to
end with "Legacy". When I change the File->Project Settings, that just
changes my xcuserdata file, and anyone (or even me) doing a fresh
checkout still gets "Legacy"
I'm looking for a way to change whatever it is about the project that
causes it to pick up Legacy. There doesn't seem to be anyway that I
can find or google to do this through the GUI. I'm quite happy to do
low level project file surgery by hand if needs be.
cheers,
m.
p.s. I also have the option of putting this into an explicit workspace
if that will let me fix this, although if I can fix this without doing
that, that would be great.
