I'm having trouble reading the root.inApp.plist

[mnifield]

Any help would be awesome, i at a dead end as to how to retrieve the data using your program from the plist files in settings bundle. Do you need to initialize the settings in the delegate and if not how do you get the data into a dic or array so i can use them in the app.

Sorry for the noob question its my first big app and i've never used settings bundle before.

Thanks

NSUserDefaults is your friend. To read a string with key "foo":

NSString *foo = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@"foo"];

[mnifield]

tried NSString *about = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@"about"];

"about" is a key in my root.plist and root.inApp.plist but it just returns nil, any ideas?

I take i needs to initialize the settings?

Yep, it's nil until initialized. You can create your initial userDefaults like this:

NSString* pathToUserDefaultsValues = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"userDefaults" ofType:@"plist"];

NSDictionary* userDefaultsValues = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:pathToUserDefaultsValues];

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:userDefaultsValues];
