In iOS do we have something like Gradle Build Flavors on Android.

Basically I want to integrate Applause SDK with my app but I dont want that code to be part of the rel

Answer 1

There are several approaches you can take to build an iOS app in different flavors:

Different versions of a resource file

• Use a custom build variable to switch between different versions of a resource file. This article discusses how to build an app with different icons.

• For *.strings files and resources linked in *.storyboard files the suffixing approach suggested in the first item did not work for me. So I added a Run Script build phase early in the pipeline. Using a script you are free to do whatever you want before the usual build chain handles your files. This is great for dynamic file generation or advanced file selection logic. As a switch you can (again) use a custom build variable.

Modifiying code

• Use a compiler flag as suggested here. These can be checked using the preprocessor.

• Alternatively you can (again) check custom build variables. To make them accessible add them as a key in a plist file.
