I can see why you say that, but that could be the bug?
No ideas who the iOS file is being committed with the Android kit selected

My files are uniquely named. In the instant case, one is called platformshim_ios.cpp and the other is platform shim_and.cpp. Each is properly specd in the iOS {} or Android {} blocks in the pro. By all logic, the iOS file should not be compiled when the Android kit is selected.

Sorry I meant that the solution of closing and opening the file is easy.
