- CocoaPods - https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods
To install cocoapods you will need ruby.

More information about cocoapods:
Add the dependency to your Podfile:

...Run pod install to install the dependencies.
-
On your App-info.plist under the Information Property List put a key called Configuration with value ${CONFIGURATION}
-
Create files Debug.plist, Release.plist, Adhoc.plist under the root path of your app
-
Put your configuration values on your plists
-
In your code create an objective-c class that inherits from CMEnvironment and create properties with the same key name of your plists keys
-
See the example code
Inherit from CMEnvironment class and create properties with the same name of the key attribute of your plist. For example:
- If you have, on your Environment.plist, a key named baseURL with the value https://api.app.com, you can do this:
#import "CMEnvironment.h"
@interface CMAppEnvironment : CMEnvironment
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *baseURL;
@end
- The class and its methods:
@interface CMEnvironment : NSObject
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;
+ (id) sharedInstance; //returns a singleton instance using the application main bundle
- (id)initWithBundle:(NSBundle *)bundle;
- (BOOL)isDebug;
- (BOOL)isRelease;
- (void)changeToEnvironmenNamed:(NSString *)environment;
@end
CMEnvironment requires iOS 5.x or greater.
