Using Xcode Configuration (.xcconfig) to Manage Different Build Settings

Complete Tutorial To Organise iOS Xcode Project Staging, Development, and Release States With .xcconfig Files Or Automatic Building without API Urls Changes.


App Constant for Api Key with Automatic Build

Once app development started , always have two or three development mode like(Development, Staging and Release).
In Development Mode :- if App has backend server , app server has definitely development api mode in which we develop app features , more reliable and bug free app or remove all crashes from app code. Here we can test app many times to improve app overall performance.
In Staging Mode :- After Development mode , we again re-test for confirmation or need to change few things that not available on development mode like real time testing etc.
In Release Mode :- app is on App Store and app has release api mode.
All your api URLs and API keys stored on a Constant file or the info.plist file.
This tutorial help you setting up different configuration of your app through schemes for states of the app: Development ,Staging and Release — and specifying our configurations in the Project Settings.
Add .xcconfig Files To Your Xcode Project
  1. Create new iOS project in Xcode or not if you have already.
  2. In project create folder — I used Configuration. We have added three .xcconfig files: Development, Staging and Release.


2. Project Settings need configuration files. For that have to create an extra Configuration for Development , Staging and Release


If Cocoapods Not Installed , Skip to #3. If Cocoapods are installed , delete .xcworkspace file, the Podfile.lock, and the Pods/ directory. Do not delete the Podfile.
Then, go to your terminal. Make sure that you’re in the project directory and run pod install.Now, open the newly generated .xcworkspace file and add the .xcconfigpath for Cocoapods in your own .xcconfig file.
Include Pods Configurattion into .xconfig files accroding to Thier State.

3. Add new schemes to your project and make sure your target is your XCode project name. Set up your scheme to correspond to your configuration.


4. Now you can set variables in your config files and access them via your info.plist file.




5. Now Add Swift Constant File into Your Project and Setup your Coding for Different API URLs.


Note
  • Never putt a string as a value for key within a .xcconfig file — it automatically stringifies any value.
  • You can find the working code here if you weren’t using Cocoapods. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Armstrong Number in Swift Programming Language Example to check whether an integer (entered by the user) is an Armstrong number or not using while loop and if…else statement. A positive integer is called an Armstrong number of order n if abcd = a pow n + b pow n + c pow n .....so on to n pow n In case of an Armstrong number of 3 digits, the sum of cubes of each digits is equal to the number itself. For example: 153 = 1 * 1 * 1 + 5 * 5 * 5 + 3 * 3 * 3 ../// 153 is Armstrong number Example #1: Check Armstrong Number of three digits func checkAmstrongNumber(num: Int ) -> String {     var sum = 0     var tempNum = num     var reminder = 0     while tempNum != 0   {         reminder = tempNum % 10         sum = sum + reminder * reminder * reminder         tempNum /= 10         if sum > num { break } ...

Swift in iOS:  Data Types In any programming language we use  data types  to store and manipulate the data in  variables  based on the type of data like integers, strings, characters, bool, etc. Whenever we create a variable in Swift programming language, automatically the required space is reserved in memory for that variable and the space allocation in memory is varied based on the type of variable like integer or float or double, etc. Data Type       Description e.g Int Int  or  UInt  stand for Integer and used for numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We can use Int32, Int64 to define 32 or 64-bit signed integer, whereas UInt32 or UInt64 to define 32 or 64-bit unsigned integer variables.  10 Float Float  stand for floating value and it is used to represent numbers with fraction value like 245.344 and etc. It is used to hold the numbers with larger or smaller decimal points like 3.14, and -455.3344. 3.1...
