BuildSettingExtractor

BuildSettingExtractor is a macOS‑only utility that reads Xcode project files and outputs the build settings used for each target and configuration. It parses the project’s *.xcodeproj* and *.xcconfig* files, presenting the resolved values in a readable format that can be inspected directly or redirected to other tools. The tool is intended for developers who need to audit, compare, or document the compilation parameters of their Xcode builds without manually navigating the IDE.

Typical use cases include verifying that custom compiler flags are applied, checking code‑signing identities across configurations, and extracting environment variables for continuous‑integration pipelines. By automating the extraction process, it reduces the risk of overlooking settings that are hidden in nested configuration files.

The software is released as a stable macOS core component, requiring only a standard Xcode installation to locate the project metadata. It can be invoked from the command line, making it suitable for scripting and integration into existing development workflows.
