To extend what rage said, you'll want to use targets instead of configurations. Targets are all about what is built where as configurations is how to build.

You may also want to look at lipo. Its useful for combining static libs such as simulator and device into 1 static lib resource. I haven't played with it extensively but maybe there is a way to have different configs as well and somehow use the right config when the parent project is built.

I do not know of a way to trigger different configuration builds, but what you are trying to achieve can be done with different targets. A target of the dependent project can trigger a specific target of the dependency project. You can set this in the Target Dependencies build phase.
