Xcode: How to remove a target dependency from the build phase for a specific configuration

Question

I have an app that includes a Watch Extension and App target. I would to be able to have one of my configurations (for a beta) exclude these targets from the target dependencies so that I can distribute the build without the Watch Extension/App. However I still want my debug configuration to include them. Is this possible? Perhaps there is some run script that could add Target Dependencies manually? Thanks.

Answer 1

Duplicate your "Release" Configuration, that will include your Watch Extension. Here the official resource: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-project_editor/Articles/BasingBuildConfigurationsonConfigurationFiles.html

In this configuration.

1. Remove the WatchKit extension from Target Dependencies
2. Remove WatchKit extension from Embed App Extensions
