  • Tools to manage xcodeproj merge conflicts

    Historically, I’ve used Kin to help undo any mistakes or things I’ve missed. It just verifies the syntax of the project file and outputs a line for stuff that was messed up from a merge.
  • Merge Conflict with project.pbxproj help

    After spending about 2 hours, I was able to get this running! Thanks for the help - I think this is one of the skills I should practice as I can see myself dealing with this a lot with version control and Xcode. I also found this tool to be pretty useful: https://github.com/Karumi/Kin it verifies your project.pbxproj file and makes sure nothing is wrong with it.
