Specifying a build action (e.g. install) in Xcode GUI
Is it possible to specify a build action, for example install using Xcode GUI?
I can do
xcodebuild install
from the command line but can't find a key ACTION in the build settings in the GUI menu, or any relevant menu items.
I figured that if I set both Deployment Location (DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION) and Deployment Postprocessing (DEPLOYMENT_POSTPROCESSING), then the build process installs the product and also copies public/private headers. Setting DeploymentPostprocessing is required no matter what the actual postprocessing is.
Also, both Installation Directory (INSTALL_PATH) and Public/Private Headers Folder Path (PUBLIC/PRIVATE_HEADERS_FOLDER_PATH) are assumed to be under Installation Build Products Location (DST_ROOT), so the product and headers will be located there.
One thing that bothers me is that Installation Directory should start with " / " in order to correctly appended to DST_ROOT. For example, if DST_ROOT is /myDistributionRoot/ and INSTALL_PATH is lib/ , then the destination directory becomes /myDistributionRootlib , not /myDistributionRoot/lib .
