Question

When I build my app as an Adhoc, I would like to set a specific var to YES. Is it possible for my code to know what it is being built for, and change a part of the code if it is for debug or adhoc?

Answer 1

In the Build Settings for a target you can set preprocessor symbols based on the build type you are doing, then in your code you can test for these using #ifdef/#endif, or to test for specific values you can use #if. Look up the preprocessor in the docs.

For example, this is commonly used to define the symbol DEBUG for debug builds and then conditionally include code:

 #ifdef DEBUG
     NSLog(@"The value of ix is %d", ix);
 #endif
