PSToggleSwitchSpecifier

PSMultiValueSpecifier

PSChildPaneSpecifier

but i want to show a page full of text like Settings->General->About->Leagl just like in iphone through PSChildPaneSpecifier .Please help me how to do this>???

Answer 1

The iPhone's "Legal" page is a custom preference controller which you can't use (not even with undocumented methods – you need to write a preference bundle in system locations which AppStore apps can't reach at all).

If you'd like to display the license, show it in the app.

Answer 2

I think you are going to need to use something like a UITextView, just make it non-editable. You can make in unobtrusive in your app but I think that is the only way to have 4-5 pages.

Answer 3

I don't think there is a nice way of displaying this in the preferences bundle. Personally I would either provide a series of url links or bring the preferences into the app itself. There is a good framework on github here that you may be able to modify.
