How can you read values from Info.plist in build settings?

Question

Currently, I have a custom user defined build settings in which I set the DISPLAY_NAME.

Then, in the General tab of Build Settings, in the display name column, I fetch this value as $(DISPLAY_NAME) from my user defined build settings.

I want to instead read the Display Name and set the general build settings from my Info.plist file. How can I do this?

Answer 1

you can use the following code.

Read info.plist file.

NSDictionary *infoDict = [[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary];
NSString *value = [infoDict objectForKey:@"keyName"];

infoDictionary: A dictionary, constructed from the bundle's Info.plist file, that contains information about the receiver.

Read a custom .plist file

   NSString *file = [[NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]] pathForResource:"nameOfPlist" ofType:@"plist"];

    if (!file) {
        NSLog(@"Please add a plist config file to your project.");
        return nil;
    }

    NSDictionary *plistDict =  [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:file];
