I'm using OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks) and Xcode 5.0.2. I create a new project and in the project's Build Settings, there are no menus to choose values for the different options. Here's a screenshot...
You can see that, for example, Base SDK shows an iphoneos
value, and Build Active Architectures Only shows the value YES
, but it's like hardcoded, there's no menu to choose another value. Instead, when I create a new project in another computer, using also Mavericks (OS X 10.9 in this case) and Xcode 5.0.2, I get the expected menus, as seen in this other screenshot...
Why Xcode doesn't show menus for build settings options in one of the computers?
In Xcode, choose Editor > Show Values
. That will switch from the current view style (which is "Show Definitions" that uses plain text fields) to using "Show Values", which will add in popup menus where appropriate.
