A project created by the projectGenerator in oF v0.8.0 uses an Xcode config file to define OF_PATH but the internal project file still contains several hardcoded references to the expected historical value of OF_PATH "../../..". A few that are fixable with the diff below are [1] the Copy Files build phase for the FMOD dylib [2] the definition of…

Actually, the CoreOF.xcconfig reference can be removed since there isn't any functional need for it and the oF Xcode project makes it browsable within the UI if needed - 4 of 5.
