How to write a Run Script in Xcode

Question

In my project i have Frameworks different for iPhone Simulator and iPhone Device for example like in Rest kit "libRestKit_simulator.a" for simulator and "libRestKit.a" for device,

My requirement is to write a "Run Script" in Xcode to include the frameworks based on the Simulator or device.

Not sure if this is the best solution but it appears to work for me.

If you add a build script below target dependancies then add in the following code. This assumes you have 2 libraries

1. library.a
2. library_simulator.a

The project would be set up to use library.a and if you are using the simulator the script will remove library.a and replace it with library_simulator.a. You would need to add the simulator to your build scheme to make sure it is built when doing a build and both libraries would need the same interface.

if [[ "${SDKROOT}" == *Simulator* ]]
then

    if [[ -f "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/library.a"]]
    then
        rm -rf "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/library.a"
    fi

    mv "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/library_simulator.a" "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/library.a"
fi

Not sure how much use this is to you, I only tested it briefly. Hope it helps.
