I'm working on an universal iPhone app, but a few user settings don't make as much sense on the iPad.
Can I specify a separate Settings.bundle or Root.plist for use on the iPad?
Thanks.
A:
from 4.0 on you will be able to just rename the file for ipad to contain ~ipad in name and ~iphoone for the iphone ones, for now you can only rename the iphone one and have 3.2 on ipad load the regular named ones.

The Settings.bundle is not loaded from code. It's just placed in the app bundle. So, unfortunately, using UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM is not an option.The device-specific suffixes don't seem to work for the Settings.bundle either. At least "Settings~iphone.bundle" is being ignored on iOS 4.0.

Good catch. This can make a very clean solution, since Root~iphone.plist works on iOS 4.0 and the iPad will use Root.plist on iOS 3.2... Unfortunately I have to be compatible with 3.1.3. So I'll probably have to wait for 4.0 on the iPad.
