Before duplicating an XCode project folder to start a new project, 

you can turn on the "Preprocess the Info.plist file" option (Edit 

Active Target; Collection: Packaging, 9th item down the list of 

options), then edit your Info.plist so that CFBundleExecutable is $ 

(PRODUCT_NAME) and CFBundleIdentifier analogously.

This change means that you don't need to manually edit Info.plist 

when you clone a new project. Saves maybe 20 seconds per project 

(before you yawn, multiply that by 100 or more projects). Seems to be 

Now if I can just figure out how to get my object version information

into Info.plist automatically...

How about generating the Info.plist file with a custom build step?

Having spent the last few days typing innumerable #pragma unused 

lines and changing symbolic constants from 'const int foo =' to 

'#define foo' for the benefit of an execrably lame compiler, it will 

be a pleasant change if XCode can do something helpful.
