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.

i have program pulls data database, caches file , exports data multiple formats (excel, excel 2003, csv). i'm using openxml sdk 2.0 excel work. these export processes run in parallel (using parallel.foreach ), , amount of data can pretty large - e.g. csvs 800mb. during these larger exports, i've noticed writing of xml documents hang. instance, if have 8 exporting in parallel, @ point "pause". hang around same point: //this.writer openxmlwriter created worksheetpart. this.writer.writeelement(new cell() { cellvalue = new cellvalue(value), datatype = cellvalues.string }); when happens, pause debugger (vs2013 in case) , notice threads blocking around same portion of code - bit deeper in openxml sdk - stem call openxmlwriter.writeelement . i dug through source using justdecompile didn't find answers. appears there intermediary stream in use writing isolated storage , is, reason, blocking. underlying stream each of these filestream . here screenshot ...
