iOS Substitutions

File substitution contents

Naming your file at the app or module directory level any of the below will substitute its contents into the described areas upon compilation for iOS.

IOS_objc_additions

Additional Objective-C code.

IOS_objcpp_additions

Additional Objective-C++ code.

IOS_objc_defines

C #define macros.

IOS_framework_additions

A list of frameworks to include when compiling, in the format -framework <your-framework>.

IOS_framework_searchpath

A list of framework paths to include when compiling, in the format -F<framework-path>

IOS_launcherappdelegate_additions

Additional Objective-C code that will be included in the main UIApplicationDelegate. This file is commonly used to override other methods of UIApplicationDelegate (excluding application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:, applicationWillResignActive:, applicationDidBecomeActive:, applicationDidEnterBackground:, applicationWillEnterForeground:, applicationWillTerminate:, and dealloc), as listed here.

IOS_launcherappdelegate_didfinishlaunching

Objective-C code to be executed in the main UIApplicationDelegate's override of application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:. This will be inserted before the call to trigger the EVENT_INIT event in Scheme. Its UIApplication* argument is named application and its NSDictionary* argument is named launchOptions.

IOS_xml_backgroundmodes

XML that will be inserted into the app's Info.plist file under the key UIBackgroundModes; that is, it will be inserted as marked below by @HERE@.

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
@HERE@
</array>

IOS_xml_requireddevicecap

XML that will be inserted into the app's Info.plist file under the key UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities, similar to how IOS_xml_backgroundmodes is inserted.

IOS_xml_additions

XML that will be inserted into the app's Info.plist file under the <dict> tag. Entries will need a <key> entry followed by its value entry, commonly an <array>, a <dict>, or a <string>. For instance, in ShareVitalSigns, to add the URL schemes svs-rr, svs-rrtaps, and svs-rrate, we have the following in this file:

<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
        <string>org.ecemgroup.sharevitalsigns</string>
        <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
        <array>
            <string>svs-rr</string>
            <string>svs-rrtaps</string>
            <string>svs-rrate</string>
        </array>
    </dict>
</array>
