About:
BuildSettingExtractor is a macOS utility that automatically extracts Xcode build settings from project files and configurations. It parses complex build configurations and outputs the settings into accessible formats like JSON or plist. This tool is invaluable for developers needing to analyze, document, or migrate build configurations without manually digging through Xcode's UI.

Key Features:

Parses Xcode projects and workspaces to extract all build settings
Outputs settings in structured formats (JSON, Plist)
Handles multiple build targets and configurations
Command-line interface for automation and scripting

Use Cases:

Auditing and documenting build settings across large Xcode projects
Migrating build configurations between different Xcode versions or projects
Automating build environment analysis in CI/CD pipelines

Alternatives:

xcodebuild – xcodebuild is part of Xcode and can show settings, but BuildSettingExtractor provides a more focused and structured export for analysis.
