Setting a boolean property in Info.plist from a User Defined Setting

Question

It's simple to set a property in an Info.plist file from a user defined setting, you just use ${YOUR_SETTING_NAME} as the value. However, is it possible to do this for a bolean property? The structure in the plist file for a boolean is:

<key>NSAppleScriptEnabled</key>
<false/>

It's not clear how to use a user defined setting here.

Answer 1

I'm not sure how to do what you're asking, but I'm pretty sure that for this particular key (NSAppleScriptEnabled) you can also use strings "YES" and "NO" and it will work.

Answer 2

plist files containing booleans within tags are not valid any more.

This solution works:

Add a new Run Script Build Phase to your target. Put in this:

if [ ${CONFIGURATION} = "Release" ]; then
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :UIFileSharingEnabled NO" "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${INFOPLIST_PATH}"
fi

So in my configuration, I'm setting the UIFileSharingEnabled to YES in my plist as a default and when I'm building for Release, then the step above happens and sets it to false.
