As for xcode ...

To save anyone else this pain ... discovered today that Xcode 6
removed support for spaces in folder names. I'm not sure which
versions are affected - it was our build machine (updated to ios 8.3
at least, so fairly recent).

Xcode 5 introduced a bug with spaces in folder names, where it would
look at all your Library Search Paths, and surround them with "" every
time you added a new one. This meant they became double-quoted, then
triple-quoted, then ... etc. And Xcode crashes on anything except
single-quoted.

So, some enterprising soul apparently removed all quoting in Xcode6:
now when you drag/drop a library into Xcode, if there are spaces in
the folder name, it simply corrupts the build.

Some of the resulting error messages are incomprehensible, e.g. claims
that your library files are corrupt ("not an object file (not allowed
in library)"). Takes a while to figure out the cause...
