I'm having the strangest problem now.

I calved off a copy of SCRIBUS to start making version 1.1 more modular and Xcode is acting flakey on me. Every OTHER compile, it seems to resort back to an old source and I cant even figure out where its coming from. I have changed may key part of the source but when it compiles and then runs, I see the NSLog statements that reflect my old copy??

I have to clean before every compile now when I didnt have to before. I have even tried to delete then entire build folder (which appeared to have worked for a couple of rounds, but then the old copy came back again?

I never experienced this during my 1.0 development.

I experienced this issue before, had to create a new project...
I think that even if you'd change code, it won't really change at runtime, but instead stay at the old version.
Did you try changing the version number and the bundleDisplay string?

Anyways, just a quick tip:
I'd suggest creating snapshots instead of copying projects, works way better and cleaner!

I was creating snapshots also, but I would swear some of them disappeared.

I did not change the version #, I will try that. What I dont get is where is getting the information from? I theoretically removed all the old version and object code.

Just now I had it compile the correct version 8 compiles in a row... and then, it suddenly reverted again.

I haven't seen anything like this before, but is your old build loading on the simulator, device, or both?

What are your steps to build and run?

Have you examined the build results (Shift+Apple+B) for anything out of the ordinary?

You may want to set a new build location (Project Info > General) to be safe.

Did you clean your device / simulator ?

XCode has many problems, one being that when having two executables with the same name on the device or simulator, XCode often doesn't launch the right one.

ahhh, I think you nailed it... There *IS* another copy of my Game on page 7 of my ipod... I bet thats it. I expected it to replace it.

Nope, you reall have to clean the device/simulator (not the build... well you need to do that too).

Does it work now ?

once I completely changed the name in about 4 places, cleaned and rebuilt the build and deleted the current copy from my ipod, it loaded a new copy with the new name and the problem hasn't reappeared.

Can it get any more convoluted? :)
