Xcode 5.0: Apple where is Add Build rule gone?

Asked 23/9, 2013 at 15:13 Answered 3/10, 2017 at 5:3

I cannot find Add Custom Build Rule option on Version 5.0 (5A1413). Does anyone noticed it? Has it been moved somewhere else?

As a work around I am clicking "Copy to Target" on any build rule and customising it to make it custom build!!!

[ANSWER]

Build Rules -> Custom then select Editor->Add Build Rule

Editor greyed out

The answer is in the menu in your screenshot. Choose Editor > Add Build Rule. – Ngocnguyen 24/9, 2013 at 18:19

With the build file selected, open the Editor menu.

This is also where the Add User-Defined Build Setting and other build setting modifications were moved to.

I tried that. Please see edited question image and work around. – Tellurate 23/9, 2013 at 15:23

Are Build Phases what you're looking for?

As a new developer in the Mac world, here's where I found it:

Open Project Navigator -> click the top item (i.e. the project item) in there.

An editor opens up with multiple tabs: General, Capabilities, Info, Build Settings, Build Phases, and Build Rules.

Then I added a new Run Script-rule and dragged it in proper place to be executed at the right time.

Checked on XCode 9:

Select Project's Target file -> Select "Editor" in top menu -> Select "Add Build Settings" -> Then Select "Add User-Defined Settings"

Important: If 'Add User-Defined Settings' is grayed out. Then select "Build Settings" from Project Setting Tabs.
