iOS: Access app-info.plist variables in code


Attributes from the info.plist for your project are directly accessible by the following...

[[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:key_name];

For example to get the version number you might do the following

NSString *appVersion = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleVersion"];

There is a gotcha in that the version number now has two attributes in the info.plist - but you get the idea? If you view your info.plist as source code (right click the info.plist - select Open As) then you will get to see all the various key names you can use.


Swift 4+ syntax for Damo's solution

Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "KEY_NAME")

Example

let appVersion = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "CFBundleVersion")


Well you can acces the info.plist very easly :

Getting the name of the storyboard:

NSString *storyboard  = [[NSBundle mainBundle].infoDictionary objectForKey:@"UIMainStoryboardFile"];

Not sure wether it will detect if it is in a iPad and it should use the UIMainStoryboardFile~ipad key instated.
