This document contains the following chapters, which are divided in two parts:

Part I: Project Organization describes how Xcode projects are organized and how to find information in them.

Overview of an Xcode Project describes the contents of an Xcode project and gives an overview of the information required to develop software with Xcode.

Creating Projects shows you how to create a project or import CodeWarrior projects and describes the available project templates.

Files in Projects discusses the files in a project, describes how Xcode references project files, shows you how to add files, frameworks, and folders to your project, and describes how to use source trees and cross-project references.

Localizing Files describes the process of internationalizing your product by localizing some of its files.

Using the Organizer describes the Organizer and shows how you can use it to organize and work on multiple projects on one window, including non–Xcode projects.

Part II: Product Development describes how to perform the major development tasks, including static analysis to find bugs in your code early and building your product.

Building Products shows how to build products in Xcode and how to take advantage of multiple CPUs during a build. It also describes how to target releases of a platform different from the one for which you’re developing your product.

Analyzing Code describes how to use the static analyzer to identify and fix code flaws.

Defining Executable Environments describes how to view the executables in your project and how to configure an executable environment.

Running Programs shows how to run your programs after you’ve built them in Xcode.
