How can I set Xcode build setting's "Supported Platforms" to "iOS"

    I tried the code below in my PostProcessBuild function. Looking at it in XCode, it seems correct at first, but when right clicking on the attribute, it shows that it sets it to an extra string value "iOS", but didn't actually choose iOS. So somehow I'm not setting the right value in the SetBuildProperty.

    Any ideas? I'm surprised that no one has run into this yet....

    PBXProjectpbxProject=newPBXProject();
    pbxProject.ReadFromFile(projectPath);
    string target = pbxProject.TargetGuidByName("Unity-iPhone");
    pbxProject.SetBuildProperty(target,"SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS","iOS");

    Hi @56-bit,
    If you open up the project.pbxproj file, you can see what the value is of this property. When in Xcode and my Supported Platforms property is set to iOS, the project.pbxproj has:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS = "iphonesimulator iphoneos";
    Does this answer your question?
    Cheers,
    Chris

    thanks for your reply
    I looked in there, and it doesn't completely make sense

    SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS = "iphonesimulator iphoneos";
    SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS.DEBUG = iOS;

    so the "iphone simulator iphones" doesnt make sense because that's not what it's set to. And the second line, iOS is not in "", meaning it's not a string. I only know how to assign it as a string. how can I assign that iOS value?

    On Xcode "iOS" is only a placeholder, the actual value is hidden. To see it, you need to click on the value as if you wanted to change it, and then select "Other".
