XCode support for plist files

[pedro]

Plist support documented in the readme, closing!

Thanks folks,

Hey!

My initial hope was to generate a .xcconfig file from the build script, but that doesn't seem possible :{ these files are fairly static.

@kipricker suggested using scheme environment vars, which is interesting because this would play well with the way we're suggesting developers to pick different .env files. I gave this a try and didn't get anywhere so far though, so will need some more exploration/advice.

Another path I want to explore is to dynamically generate a plist with the env contents, and see if we can import/merge that into Info.plist somehow.

As you might be able to tell I'm not skilled in Xcode at all, so still figuring these out as we go :} Needless to say any input/suggestion/help here is very welcome!

Yeah, in my project I ended up generating an Info.plist from a template inside an automated build script. It works for me, but it's not very elegant :P

Hey @pedro, have you thought of using plist and having a build pre-action to replace environment variables in Info.plist and then place them back in a post-action?
