How do I test against app variables such as if ${EXECUTABLE_NAME}

Question

I want to do a conditional statement in my prototype such as:

if (${EXECUTABLE_NAME} == "MyAppName")

as I am using multiple targets for the custom skins of the app.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can set a preprocessor-macro for your target name. To do so, all you do is open your targets info panel, find the section for "pre-processor macro" and enter "MY_APP_NAME".

Then at compile time, all you have to do is check if this exists.

-(BOOL) isMyAppName {
    #ifdef MY_APP_NAME
        return YES;
    #else
        return NO;
    #endif
}

And later in your code, you can call this function to determine if the target is the one you want.

You can get the app name like this:

NSDictionary *info = [[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary];
NSString *theAppName = [info objectForKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName"];
if([theAppName isEqualToString:@"MyAppName"]) {
    //...
}
