Nov 17, 2012 release 22 • New Make and Fast optimised targets
embedXcode release 22 includes two new targets: Make and Fast.
The Make and Fast targets feature an optimisation for the build of the foundation libraries.
The new targets are much faster than the corresponding Build and All targets. This is especially important for the ARM-based boards.

The maintenance of the embedXcode template is really difficult due to Apple secrecy around and lack of documentation on Xcode.
So I'm considering switching from Xcode to another IDE.
Here's an open letter to Apple Xcode team. Feel free to send it to members of the Apple Xcode team you know.
Thank you for your help :)
Dear Xcode Team,
Xcode offers superior features and ergonomics compared with other IDEs running on OS X.
Unfortunately, its restricted documentation prevents from using many of its features.I'm using Xcode as a development tool for embedded computing platforms.
As at today, the embedXcode template supports Arduino, Diligent chipKIT with MPIDE, Texas Instruments' Launchpad with Energia, Leaflab Maple, Teensy, Wiring, and has received a warm welcome from the embedded computing community.The issues (http://embedxcode.weebly.com/issues) I'm currently facing are mostly linked to the lack of available documentation.
The books available on Xcode focus on how to use the tool, not on how to customise it. Similarly, Apple doesn't provide any clues about its inner structure.
For example, keywords used by the templates are not documented. Neither is using other tool-chains, albeit the specific Toolchains folder.Is Xcode solely limited OS X and iOS development?
By just releasing some documentation on Xcode inner organisation and customisation, Apple can easily make Xcode the best choice for developers.Otherwise, I'd have no option but to switch to another IDE and to abandon OS X.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best regards,--- Rei Vilo

Rei,
I havent dug too far into your templates because they are grouped the way they are (I would rather see a per arcitecture template but thats just me)
When we did osx-avr the templating mechanism (provided by nick lott) for xcode 3 was pretty well documented, and the projects for xcode 3 work on xcode 4.
Perhaps you can do the xcode 3 templates that way you can support the many who are hesitant to adapt xcode 4.Don.

[b]embedXcode • Nov 24, 2012 release 23 • Fixed WiFi issue on Arduino 1.0.2 and 1.5.x
User Manual • Nov 24, 2012 release 17 • New section Dealing with Issues[/b]embedXcode release 23 includes the additional optional parameter EXCLUDE_LIBS in the main makefile to black-list libraries.
Issues have been reported for the WiFi library on Arduino 1.0.2 and the Firmata library with Teensy 3.0.
Edit the makefile on you project and add the names of the libraries to exclude:
# List the libraries to be excluded
# For example, WiFi may crash on Arduino 1.0.2
# For example, Firmata may crash on Teensy 3.0
#
EXCLUDE_LIBS = Firmata WiFi WiFi/utility

embedXcode • Feb 28, 2013 release 29 • Support for Digispark (build and link tested)
The Digispark by Digistump is an incredibly small —0,69x0,75" or 17,5x19,0mm only— but fully featured board —with I²C, SPI, ADC or PWM!
More tests are required for the upload as the process is not standard.

I've been very busy adding support for other ARM-based boards as the Arduino Due, the Teensy 3.0 and the LaunchPad Stellaris. All those three boards come with all the libraries, including stream and string which are missing on the Maple IDE.
About Xcode 3, main problem is, it doesn't run on my 10.8 OS X. I can't maintain two separate templates as the releases 3 and 4 are incompatible. I prefer focusing on the present version of Xcode.
Now, building a standard Xcode project from embedXcode is easy.
A more positive approach would consist on supplying links to the work you've mentioned.

Please find a new release of embedXcode:
embedXcode • Mar, 05 2013 release 30 • Full support for Digispark
embedXcode • Mar, 05 2013 release 31 • Automatic project configurationThanks to the Digispark boards received from Digistump, I ran the tests for the upload. build, link and upload work fine now.
Enjoy the power of a square inch!
The automatic project configuration procedure saves a lot of time. Before, a newly created project used to require many manual procedures, like declaring the .ino or .pde sketch file as C++ code file for colour syntaxing, or defining the directories for click-to-error, ... Now, you need just a click!
This new automatic project configuration works for all the supported platforms: Arduino, chipKIT, Digispark, LaunchPad MSP430 + FRAM + Stellaris, Maple and Wiring.
