 +==== Resources, network drives =====
 +
 +The way I do my iOS builds is I share my Windows HD drive to OS X, and open the Xcode project on the network drive.  The projects are setup to use local drives for the intermediate compile-build processes so performance is good. (Update - actually I don't, due to some problem between xcode, lion's new samba replacement, and Win7.  I've been using robocopy in .bat files instead... sucks.
 + 
 +Under "Resources" in the groups and files tree in the Xcode project, you'll see little blue folders named "game", "audio", "interface".  These are virtual folders that will automatically copy ALL their contents (bmps, wavs, etc) into the final package.
 +
 +You don't have to edit the project file when you change/update resources, it's more or less automatic.
 +
 +==== Switching from a "combo app" to iPhone only =====
 +The examples are all "combo apps" which mean they run on each device at its native resolution.  If for some reason you'd like an iPhone only app (it can still be run on an iPad, but in the iPhone emulation mode) then do this:
 +
 +  - In the XCode project build settings, set "Targeted Device Family" to "iPhone" instead of "iPhone/iPad"
 +  - Edit the Info.plist with a text editor and remove the lines <key>NSMainNibFile~ipad</key> and <string>MainWindow-iPad</string>
 +  - Remove the Resources-iPad folder from the project, you don't need the MainWindow-iPad.xib
 +  - Do a full rebuild, you're done!
