What is a .PBXUSER file?
The .PBXUSER file is a type of file that is made by Xcode, which is a program used for creating software on Mac OS X computers. This file keeps track of the settings a user has chosen for their software development project. It remembers things like which files were open, how the windows were arranged, what the user prefers for building the project, where the project files are located, and many other settings. This is helpful because it means the user doesn't have to set everything up again every time they work on the project.
You can open this type of file with Apple Xcode, which is the program that creates it.
It's important to know that .PBXUSER files are usually meant just for the person working on the project. Because of this, they are not often shared when people are working together on writing software. This is because everyone might have their own preferences for how things are set up. However, sometimes a file called default.pbxuser is shared at the beginning of a project. This is so everyone can start with the same settings, which can make working together easier.
If you need to find or change something in a .PBXUSER file, you should know it's kept inside the .XCODEPROJ file for the project. To get to it, you have to change the name of the .XCODEPROJ file by removing ".xcodeproj" at the end. This makes it a folder that you can open to find the .PBXUSER file and other project files.
