Copy file to root of Xcode project when building

Question

I am trying to implement Google Analytics (GA) in my iOS apps. I have two different targets that have different tracking-ids for GA. GA requires a GoogleService-Info.p

Answer 1

The script:

PLIST_FILE="CustomGoogleService-Info.plist"
PLIST_PATH="${PROJECT_DIR}/path/To/Plist/Here/${PLIST_FILE}"
cp "${PLIST_PATH}" "${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/${CONTENTS_FOLDER_PATH}/GoogleService-Info.plist"

Instructions:

• Add this script to the end of your Build Phases
• Change name CustomGoogleService-Info.plist to your own
• Change pathToPlistHere to the correct path where CustomGoogleService-Info.plist is located (starting from your project directory)
• You should not have GoogleService-Info.plist file in your project - the script will create it for you.
• Grab a coffee while it is running

Alternatively: You could have 2 files with the name GoogleService-Info.plist, but keep each in separate directory. Then you could add each to the corresponding target. Without any script.
