What is it?

It a simple class that enables you to define build configurations through plist. And you can switch configuration easily in a window.

How to use

Inherit VisibleBuildConfig

For example, name your class as MyVisibleBuildConfig. And after your key window is created, add below code:

    [[MyVisibleBuildConfig sharedInstance] setupWithPlist:@"MyVisibleBuildConfig"];
#ifdef DEBUG
    [[MyVisibleBuildConfig sharedInstance] enableSwipe];
#else
    [[MyVisibleBuildConfig sharedInstance] setAsRelease];
#endif

• For DEBUG build, enable swiping left from right edge to show the build configration browser. You can switch configuration in here.
• For RELEASE build, set it as release to fix the build configuration included Release key valued YES, otherwise use the the first one.

Create your build configuration plist

For example, name your plist as MyVisibleBuildConfig.plist. In the plist, you can define multiple build configutions. ConfigName is the only required key. Release is optional that flag it as the configuration for release build. Others are defined by yourself. Any types of data supported by plist are supported here.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0"> 
  <array> 
    <dict> 
      <key>ConfigName</key>  
      <string>QA</string>  
      <key>Host</key>  
      <string>qa.example.com</string>  
      <key>AllowMock</key>  
      <true/>  
      <key>MockInt</key>  
      <integer>100</integer>  
      <key>MockFloat</key>  
      <string>22.88</string>  
      <key>MockArray</key>  
      <array> 
        <string>David</string>  
        <string>Alice</string>  
        <string>Brown</string>  
        <string>Jim</string> 
      </array> 
    </dict>  
    ...
  </array> 
</plist>

Add properties in MyVisibleBuildConfig.h

Add properties corresponding to your plist. It's case insensitive. So you can define the key with name Release, but property with name release. Then you can access values thourgh properties. If you dont want to add properties, you can use configValueForKey to access all values.

@property(nonatomic, strong) NSString   *configName;
@property(nonatomic, strong) NSString   *host;
@property(nonatomic, assign) BOOL       allowMock;
@property(nonatomic, assign) int        mockInt;
@property(nonatomic, assign) float      mockFloat;

Observe switch notification

Every switch action will cause kVisibleBuildConfigChanged notification posted. You can reset your context with receiving the notification.
