Here's an idea I've been trying to be better about using in my apps:

Put system prefs in the database and (optionally) make it user configurable.

In one case, I have a database dedicated to handling my active directory authentication rules, including which server to authenticate to, etc. This way, we can change authentication servers, or deploy to another site, without having to recompile.

I think something similar could be used for app url settings. Each site could have its own base url setting in the prefs table. Granted, it would require generating urls in code, but might avoid the problem of downloading a single image multiple times that I've heard about.

It's not very pretty in WOBuilder when you do it this way, though. :)

If you go with hard-coded url, you will need a different buid/deployment procedure than the bare minimum that we use. I haven't really tried, but it seem that I would need extra procedure over the simple split-install procedure we do right now. Maybe it can be added to the xcode build scripts (new build phase), so it won't be extra work ?


Give both a try, keep the one that fit your development / deployment situation best.
I guess the question could be : Do you want woresouremanager to manage resources, or do you want the developers to manage resources ?
