Is there any difference from using xcconfig?
What are pros/cons ?

settings are used to provide settings on a target or project. settingsGroup can be referenced from settings or other settingGroups. They are similar to xcconfig files but have a bit more power.

Setting group advantages

• can specify build settings or other setting groups by config
• written in the same spec using the same language so easier to use
• use the project spec include allows for adding or merging of build settings in setting groups

Xcconfig advantages

• can reuse files already in use in a project

So I would say use settingGroups unless you want to use any custom xcconfig files you've already created.
