How do I configure full URLs in xcconfig files

Question

I have an xcconfig file which contains a configuration for which server my app should hit. In debug mode, this will be a different server than for release builds.

The problem I have is that a URL of the form http://www.stackoverflow.com is treated as a comment after the double slash. So the string I get in code is 'http:'

I have read that I can put a -traditional build flag on Info.plist, I was wondering if someone else has had a similar issue and has solved it?

Thanks.

Here's a simple workaround:

WEBSITE_URL = https:/$()/www.example.com
