Development requirements

• Cocoapods - https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods

Setup

• On your App-info.plist under the Information Property List put a key called Configuration with value ${CONFIGURATION}

• Create files Debug.plist, Release.plist, Adhoc.plist under the root path of your app

• Put your configuration values on your plists

• In your code create an objective-c class that inherits from CMEnvironment and create properties with the same key name of your plists keys

• See the example code

Usage

Inherit from CMEnvironment class and create properties with the same name of the key attribute of your plist. For example:

• If you have, on your Environment.plist, a key named baseURL with the value https://api.app.com, you can do this:

#import "CMEnvironment.h"

@interface CMAppEnvironment : CMEnvironment

@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *baseURL;

@end

• The class and its methods:

@interface CMEnvironment : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;

+ (id) sharedInstance; //returns a singleton instance using the application main bundle
- (id)initWithBundle:(NSBundle *)bundle;
- (BOOL)isDebug;
- (BOOL)isRelease;
- (void)changeToEnvironmenNamed:(NSString *)environment;

@end

Requirements

CMEnvironment requires iOS 5.x or greater.
