There was a problem hiding this comment.
Please accept my apologies for lack of review feedback in the past. This definitely looks like a major, breaking change which needs to be described so that we can evaluate whether we can accept the breaking change or consider some other alternatives. Testing seems to be broken and there is now a conflict.

Once upon a time, Xcode's default directory values had issues when there were spaces in project names, so we override the CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR and SHARED_PRECOMPS_DIR variables with our own paths. However, this can interfere with Cocoapods, and Xcode should be able to handle things sensibly nowadays. Unfortunately, that results in our build artifacts living somewhere in a randomly-named Xcode DerivedData directory, and then we can't do things like run the app in a simulator or on a device because we don't know the path to it. Setting SYMROOT allows us to control the output directory of the built products, with the caveat that Xcode always creates a subdirectory named with the current configuration. So instead of `build/emulator`, we'll have `build/Debug-iphonesimulator` and instead of `build/device`, we'll have `build/Release-iphoneos`. Hypothetically this is better because now we are sure that debug and release files never get mixed up in the same output directory. The downside is that this is a breaking change because it alters the path for the output .ipa files. Closes apache#617. Closes apache#659. Closes apache#671.
