Detect if App is production version or Development version

Question

I need to detect at run time whether my apps copy is Production/Development version. Is there any methods to achieve the same.

I am looking forward to develop push notification API which will send APNS messages to server accordingly(i.e. sandbox or without sandbox).

Any help? thanx in advance.

Answer 1

In that case you can use conditional compiling and check if you are in debug mode.

In your project settings you should have defined a preprocessor macro to indicate the debug build:

you can use that or define your own.

in your code you can put:

    NSString* platform = @"ios";
#if DEBUG
    platform = @"ios_sandbox";
#endif

everything between #if DEBUG and #endif will only be compiled when DEBUG=1 is defined (in this case only in debug configuration) so at the end you will have in platform variable the value of ios in release builds and ios_sandbox in debug builds.
