Hide settings bundle option from code

Question

In my app I have an option defined in the Settings.bundle that is used only for debugging purposes.

Is there a way of hiding this from code, for when the application is in production, without manually deleting the option from Settings.bundle/Root.plist ?

Something in the lines of:

#ifdef DEBUG

// Remove the option from the settings bundle

#else

// Show the option in (or don't actually remove the option from) the settings bundle

#endif

Thank you!

Answer 1

There're a few options:

• use a separate dev target with special Settings.bundle,
• modify Settings.bundle with a Run script at Build Phases for the single target adding the section for DEBUG configuration, check CONFIGURATION variable for that.

I'm almost certain there is no way to do that.
