Question

I have to run my iOS app in simulator, providing some additional info on launch.

However, I can’t find a way to access argc/argv in my app. I thought I can find these somewhere in UIApplication, but I can’t. Then I’ve checked - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions, but launchOptions was nil.

Is there a way to get an access to command-line arguments in iOS application?

Answer 1

Save values in either a plist which you read every startup, or in the NSUserDefaults dictionary from a previous run, which you access at startup.

If it must be external only, and argument-based only, set the arguments array from NSProcessInfo:

NSArray *arguments = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] arguments];
