iosxcodeinfo-plist

Configuration dependent value in Info.plist file

I have three configurations in my iOS project:

  1. Debug
  2. Adhoc
  3. Release

Now I want to change the name of the App as follows:

  1. MyAppDebug
  2. MyAppAdhoc
  3. MyApp (Note that this one does not have a suffix)

Is there a way I can easily achieve this in Xcode with some type of "compiler-if-else-macro-thing"?

Solution

  • Changing display name of app for respective configurations: one way to achieve this is by using the same info plist file that you have.

    Part 1: create a user defined variable

    1. Click on target project file.
    2. Then at bottom right corner locate button "+" Add Build Setting.
    3. Click that button "Add Build Setting" and select "Add User-Defined Setting" enter name for New Setting as for ex: "BUNDLE_DISPLAY_NAME".
    4. Expand this new setting to see the configurations under it. Give the desired name to be displayed for each configuration. For ex: Debug -> MyAppDebug

    Part 2: use it

    1. Select your appname-info.plist file.
    2. Locate key "Bundle Display Name" and value to it should be this new user defined variable ${BUNDLE_DISPLAY_NAME}

    Then for appropriate configuration it will select name from BUNDLE_DISPLAY_NAME variable in build settings.
