Is there a way of checking whether your xcode project is using the .xcconfig configuration file with which you have supplied it?
What I mean is, if there is some way of 'printing' a statement eg debugging, like #warning, #error, printf, etc...?
The reason being is that I have set up some configurations, and I feel they are not being used...
Just open the project navigator and select "Build Settings". If you have specified the config files correctly and added any setting to that file, a new column will appear, one for the xcconfig file for each target and on for the project as whole. The column to the far left is a "sum" of all you settings, and there you can verify that the settings you look for are set.
EDIT: Adding some pictures to show the columns with different config file settings.
Build settings without any property in the projects xcconfig file:
And the same with some settings in the projects xcconfig file:
The same applies for the Target as seen in the following two pictures:
No settings in the targets config file:
Some settings in the targets config file:
