ios - Xcode Environment Variables and Command Line Arguments -


background

i developing ios app connects server. have team of developers run own server unique addresses debugging. our rule source control checkin "production url".

in android have solution works well. solution won't work in ios.

what i've tried

set "command line argument" or "environment variable" in build scheme. problem put "*.xcproject" file get's checked in , causes merge conflicts. if set @ user level fine because .gitignore xcuserdata.

i tried referencing "myconfig.h" file not checked in. if not exist project won't build.

what want do

if developer wants point @ different server set environment variable on mac. "export my_server="http://domain.com/api/". in project file add , environment or command line argument "my_server=$(my_server)".

unfortunately can't figure out how xcode resolve variable on osx machine. seems environment variables resolved on device only. command line arguments seem taken literally.

research i've done

http://qualitycoding.org/production-url/ - not address real issue

http://nshipster.com/launch-arguments-and-environment-variables/

google, apples developer forum , stackoverflow post.

how do in projects ?

is solution use backdoor or file folks change , try not accidentally checkin?

as update found solution solves problem me. using https://github.com/xslim/mobiledevicemanager , script checked in. developer can create custom configuration , copy documents directory. keep production checked in , have runtime check our custum configuration file.

here example of tools usage:

$ mobiledevicemanager -o copy -app "com.domain.myapp" -from ~/.myappconfig/app_override.plist

this way developer can keep custom configuration in home directory (out of source control) without fear of accidental checkin. use process other desktop , android apps fits our process well. has added benefit if testers device failing can point @ custom debug server logging simplify debug process , not need deploy new binary device during internal testing.

i hope can else.

html - Sizing a high-res image (~8MB) to display entirely in a small div (circular, diameter 100px) -

java - IntelliJ - No such instance method -

using intellij's 12 ultimate, i'm running following code in debugger: java import play.api.libs.json.jsvalue; public class foo { ... public jsvalue tojson() { ... } public class fooexample { ... foo foo = new foo(); system.out.println("...); //<-- breakpoint at breakpoint, right-clicked source code , picked "evaluate expression," typing in: foo.tojson() . but following error showed up: no such instance method: play.api.libs.json.jsvalue$class.com.foo.foo.tojson () am doing wrong? foo#tojson calls scala code, if matters. edit had breakpoint after instantiation of foo. downvoted it, deserved it. edit my answer no longer valid after op modified question (i.e. moved breakpoint actual is).. a breakpoint hit before line executed. in case foo has not yet been declared or instantiated (i.e. foo constructor has not yet been called). you'll need put breakpoint @ next line (or step on current line) if want evaluate foo .

identifier - Is it possible for an html5 document to have two ids? -

i wondering if html5 element can have 2 ids, this: <button id="thing1" id="thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> or this: <button id="thing1, thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> also, if 1 of ids said 1 thing, , other id said thing, 1 used? tl;dr : no. in versions of html, each element can have 1 id. see the spec : the id attribute specifies element's unique identifier (id). [dom] the value must unique amongst ids in element's home subtree , must contain @ least 1 character. the value must not contain space characters. note: there no other restrictions on form id can take; in particular, ids can consist of digits, start digit, start underscore, consist of punctuation , etc. note: element's unique identifier can used variety of purposes, notably way link specific parts of document usin
