Build Profile

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A named build configuration that controls which settings, optimizations, features, and targets are used for a particular build scenario such as development, test, staging, or production. Build profiles help teams avoid manually toggling many low-level options for common cases.

    In plain English: A named set of build settings for a specific purpose or environment.

    Example: "The mobile app had separate build profiles for debug, internal QA, and app-store release because each needed different signing, logging, and optimization settings."
