Question: Why do this with text processing rather than use Unity's Xcode API? (I guess a reasonable argument could be made that Unity doesn't ship with the API yet, so you didn't want to require a separate download.)

Two reasons:

• I didn't know about unity's xcode API when I did this, but yeah even if I did, it not being built-in ruins the gist-ness of this
• I didn't write the inner code, I lifted it from another gist (linked above), I just wrapped it in a build post-processor. I don't claim to really understand it enough to re-write it :)
