- Thread-topic: Read/Write to info.plist's LSEnvironment
I was thinking of keeping the User ID and other simple < 2KB of
identifiers
within the bundle. I found the LSEnvironment option and it 'appears' to
be what
I'm after.
But I'm open to others' suggestions (based on their experiences) and
shall
dutifully follow the more logical route.
For one thing, working with NSUserDefaults is the more intuitive
approach from
my experience.
But FWIW... using XML based LSEnvironment had appeared to more...
modular.
However, the CF-support for LSEnvironment is more cumbersome for me.

You cannot guarantee that the user of your application will have write
access to your bundle. Why are you trying to store them within your
application rather than using, for example, NSUserDefaults? It doesn't
sound like LSEnvironment is what you want at all.
