You can also use echo “note: xxx”

If you really want to get fancy, you can include a file path and line number (and the appropriate colons), and Xcode will open that when you double-click on the entry in the build log. The exact format is:

file_path:line_num: [error|warning]: message goes here

for example, from Python I use:

print “%s:%d: %s: %s” % (filePath, lineNum, level, message)

Not all custom build script warnings/errors will have an associated file and line, but if they do, this trick can be pretty handy.
