Then rsync copies all new or changed files to the destination directory.  Any unchanged files are left there & so XCode does not recompile them.  If you deleted any files, note they'll still be in the destination directory until you clean it out, but that doesn't matter most of the time.  You could add an rsync option to delete them, but that would also delete the ".o" files & cause a full recompile.

Sorry for the double post.
This is more or less what is doing the build step I was talking about.
