Description

This would add a command that would print out the specific settings that would be applied to a target for a specific config. This would combine

  • target build settings
  • target xcconfig file
  • project build settings
  • project xcconfig file

To begin with this wouldn't include settings that are applied by the top most level (the SDK) as we don't have easy access to that.

Research direction

Start by locating the command entry points and the code that reads target, project, and xcconfig build settings for a spec and configuration. The work is done when a command prints the combined settings from those four sources, while excluding SDK-level settings, with coverage for the output and selected configuration.
