How to create dev/staging/production environments

Question

I'm trying to create an Xcode project that works in a development environment (using the computer as a local host), staging environment (a specific endpoint on a server), and a production environment (another specific server endpoint). I have found a few different tutorials about how to set this up. Some solutions suggest creating different target, some suggest creating different configurations. What is the most effective way to do this?

Answer 1

Following are the steps to create different schemes

1. Select the target
2. Create new scheme and give specific name to scheme (Dev,Staging,Prod,Debug)

1.Go to Build Setting

3.Create macros and specify urls for each environment
