Trying to set settings in custom XCode template

[johnnywz00]

I have copied the CLT template for XCode, and successfully added some of my own build settings by inserting some additional XML in the .plist file. However, I am being foiled with the `Enable Hardened Runtime` setting. In spite of including
```
(<plist>)
(<dict>)
        <key>Project</key>
       <dict>
          <key>SharedSettings</key>
          <dict>
             <key>ENABLE_HARDENED_RUNTIME</key>
         <string>NO</string>
          </dict>
       </dict>
```
the new SFML project will always start with hardened runtime enabled, and I have to turn it off manually. I suspect that some inherited behavior from the SFML template is causing this (because when I don't use the SFML template, hardened runtime isn't on), but on inspecting the files I can't see anywhere that it's specified. Does anyone know why this setting doesn't take effect, although the others that I've tried do?

If you enable it in the XCode settings, does it not get added to the plist?

I'm afraid I don't know what you're getting at... I'm aiming to be able to start new projects with Hardened Runtime off/disenabled (because it won't allow the SFML libraries), without having to turn it off manually each time. But my statement that non-SFML-template new projects started with Hardened Runtime off was based upon an older version of XCode, and is no longer correct. A basic XCode project, without SFML template, does start with Hardened Runtime enabled. So I suppose it has nothing to do with the SFML template.
Still, I am puzzled as to why the code I posted *doesn't* turn it off, since I'm specifying it in custom settings. As mentioned, other custom settings listed the same way do indeed take effect in my customized SFML template.

I meant, if you turned it off manually and saved the project, maybe you could see if the syntax is supposedly different to what you've used.

I'm not aware that altering settings within a created project writes to a .plist anywhere. If it does I'd be happy to know. The only .plist I know to tamper with is the one(s) that go along with the SFML templates, and as mentioned, couldn't find anything about hardened runtime in those. I'm pretty certain that ENABLE_HARDENED_RUNTIME is the correct value as that's what XCode displays when you hover over the setting...
