How can I prevent using the Settings.bundle in Release build v.s. Debug build?

Question

I need to have a settings.bundle in our debug build, but don\'t want to have it in our Release. How do I approach this? Is there a runscript I can use to remove it from the copy

Answer 1

Alternatively, just don't include the settings bundle in the "Copy Bundle Resources" and add a build phase run script to only include it for certain configs.

Here's a run script that also updates a version and build in the settings bundle

if [ ${CONFIGURATION} == "Debug" ] ; then
    echo "Copying settings bundle..."
    version=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" "$SRCROOT/Blah/Supporting Files/Info.plist")
    build=$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleVersion" "$SRCROOT/Blah/Supporting Files/Info.plist")
    cp -r "${PROJECT_DIR}/Blah/Supporting Files/Settings.bundle" ${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.app
    echo "Updating settings bundle version to ${version}b${build}"
    /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.app/Settings.bundle/Root.plist" -c "Set :PreferenceSpecifiers:17
:DefaultValue $version($build)"
fi

making sure to change out the Blah/Supporting Files path to whatever yours actually is
