How to add an external project to Xcode 4?

Solution 1

In Xcode 4, you're mostly meant to create a new Workspace to which you can add multiple projects. From the main menu: File > New... > New Workspace...

Once you create your new workspace, drag the Xcode project files into the project navigator of the newly-created workspace. Drop the first one anywhere in the project navigator pane but be careful to note the insertion pointer when you drop the second one. Advice: Drop it beneath the entire first project but with your pointer as close to the left edge of the project navigator panel as you can get. This makes sure you're not inserting a project into another project.

In this way, you get all the benefits of a workspace (automatic dependencies, etc.) without changing the structure of the projects themselves. Then you simply open the workspace rather than the individual projects within it.

Solution 2

Despite that this question had been asked months ago, here is a great resource directly answering it. It worked flawlessly for me (even though I had ARC turned on for the main project I was importing it into).

I enjoyed working closely with clients and development teams to come up with intelligent Mobile solutions to cope-up with with dynamic business requirements. I have brief understanding about Agile Project management, Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing, Enterprise Systems and Architecture. I am also familiar working with multinational clients, along with their office culture and environment. Even though I had lot of management and development experience it also involved and was not limited to Client Co-ordination, Team Handling, Team Building, requirement elicitation and many more activities which helped me to gain superior interpersonal and soft skills along with Client Interaction and business development skills. Currently I am enrolled in a two year Master of Business Information Systems (MBIS) program at Monash University and would graduate in May 2016. The MBIS discipline has tremendous practical scope and a graduate degree would create a strong base and also broaden my knowledge areas providing greater exposure and guide with necessary tools to create innovative business technology solutions. After graduating, I aspire to work as a Business Analyst/Consultant in the Technology Advisory, Consulting or Services industry, who efficiently analyzes business processes, and comprehends the mesh of factors associated with large projects. I am confident of working through a clatter of information, to pinpoint the needs of clients, and deliver a solution exceeding requirements.
