Plain String

The default value of a String is nil. You must change the default value of the property by assigning a new value in an overridden reset method.

The default value of a NSString is nil. You must change the default value of the property by assigning a new value in an overridden reset method.

NSString properties should be declared in your APLConfiguration subclass header file as follows:

@import AppfigurateLibrary;

@interface Configuration : APLConfiguration

@property(nonatomic, assign) double propertyName;
...

The default value of a String is null. You must change the default value of the property by assigning a new value in an overridden reset method.

The flutter APLNativeConfiguration class defers to the underlying platform APLConfiguration (iOS) or nz.co.electricbolt.appfiguratelibrary.Configuration (Android) subclass to read property values.

The React Native module AppfigurateModule class defers to the underlying platform APLConfiguration (iOS) or nz.co.electricbolt.appfiguratelibrary.Configuration (Android) subclass to read property values.

This page describes plain textual strings. Appfigurate also supports encrypted strings.

Remote properties

Remote Editable UI

Third party remote configuration provider integration is currently in private beta and will be available in the next major release of Appfigurate.

Allows a third party remote configuration provider's string property to be changed locally in Appfigurate using a text field. If the override tick box is ticked off, the third party remote configuration provider's value is displayed. If the override tick box is ticked on, then you can use Appfigurate to locally override the value.

Swift prototype

@RemoteStringPropertyEdit(remoteKey, description, restart)
var propertyName: String

Swift example

import AppfigurateLibrary

@objcMembers class Configuration: APLConfiguration {

    @RemoteStringPropertyEdit(remoteKey: "appTitle", description: "Title of application")
