+XCODE_EMIT_EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME
+----------------------------------
+
+Control emission of ``EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME`` by the Xcode generator.
+
+It is required for building the same target with multiple SDKs. A
+common use case is the parallel use of ``iphoneos`` and
+``iphonesimulator`` SDKs.
+
+Three different states possible that control when the Xcode generator
+emits the ``EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME`` variable:
+
+- If set to ``ON`` it will always be emitted
+- If set to ``OFF`` it will never be emitted
+- If unset (the default) it will only be emitted when the project was
+ configured for an embedded Xcode SDK like iOS, tvOS, watchOS or any
+ of the simulators.
+
+.. note::
+
+ When this behavior is enable for generated Xcode projects, the
+ ``EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME`` variable will leak into
+ :manual:`Generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`
+ like ``TARGET_FILE`` and will render those mostly unusable.

+xcode-effective-platform-name
+-----------------------------
+
+* The Xcode generator can now control emission of the
+ ``EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME`` variable through the
+ :prop_gbl:`XCODE_EMIT_EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME` global property.
+ This is useful when building with multiple SDKs like macosx and
+ iphoneos in parallel.
