I'll definitely link it back to your articles here. I'm planning on using Lua for more stuff in my game (entity states, AI etc) and this article has been a great help. I'm also open sourcing anything that's not specific to my game. Great! I’ll definitely link it back to your articles here.

I've added it as a git submodule and if you don't have any objections can I make it public on github? I'd like to keep working on it and I think it could help others too!

Select the build setting in either the Target or the Project, then in the sprocket menu at the bottom of the window choose "Add Build Setting Condition". This will let you specify different settings by SDK and architecture. @Noel Indeed there is.

Followup question for you: Do you know if there's a way to link a static library for one platform (simulator) and not for others (device)? I know I can create a "blank" library and use the naming trick, but maybe there's something cleaner. Great article, Miguel. Thank you.

Just one thought though. Often there is a good argument for leaving things like Lua scripting and diagnostic code in the optimised Release build. One option here is to have a third Build configuration (called Shipping, or Distribution, say), which is purely for submitting to the App store. This configuration can be a duplicate of the Release mode build, but with the scripting etc pulled out. This way, you can still get value from an optimised build with diagnostics / tweaking while testing. Great post, with a bunch of useful information. Just one thought though.
