Re: UserDefaults and domain names

I'm working on the user defaults mechanism in my app and I noticed that many applications use a reverse fully qualified domain name, similar to the java package convention.

For example, com.apple.TextEdit, or com.microsoft.explorer...

My read of the NSUserDefaults docs indicated that it uses the bundle's name for the domain name, thus mine is coming out just plain FileView, rather than com.whidbeysoft.FileView.

Can someone tell me how to set my own fully qualified domain name in the user defaults?

You need to give your bundle a CFBundleIdentifier of the appropriate form. See the InfoPlist release note for more details on various info dictionary keys. In ProjectBuilder, you go to the pane where you set up the info dictionary keys, and set the value com.whidbeysoft.FileView for the CFBundleIdentifier key. Really, all bundles should have a CFBundleIdentifier; the bundle name is used only as a fallback if it is not present.
