just to put all on one place which found on various post on stackoverflow and works for me , #define is bad because you cannot benefit from variable types, basically the compiler replaces all occurrence when compiles (import Constants.h whenever you need) :

//  Constants.h
#import 

@interface Constants : NSObject

extern NSString *APP_STATE_LOGGED_IN;
extern NSString *APP_STATE_LOGGED_OUT;
@end

// Constants.m
#import 
#import "Constants.h"

@implementation Constants

NSString *APP_STATE_LOGGED_IN  = @"APP_STATE_LOGGED_IN";
NSString *APP_STATE_LOGGED_OUT = @"APP_STATE_LOGGED_OUT";
@end
