IPhone - reading Setting.bundle returns invalid values

Question

I created the Settings.bundle file that comes with the Root.plist file and the localization directory en.lproj.

I edited Root.plist and added some settings that I want to use for my application.

When I uninstall the application from the iPhone and install it and launch for the first time, all the settings that I read return incorrect values. For example:

highQualityFlag = [[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@"qualityFlag"] boolValue]; 

the flag displays NO even if the default value is YES.

If I change something in the settings and run it again, all subsequent runs give me the correct values ​​(??)

How to solve this?

thanks

Try the following:

 - (void)registerDefaultsFromSettingsBundle { NSString *settingsBundle = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Settings" ofType:@"bundle"]; if(!settingsBundle) { //NSLog(@"Could not find Settings.bundle"); return; } NSDictionary *settings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[settingsBundle stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Root.plist"]]; NSArray *preferences = [settings objectForKey:@"PreferenceSpecifiers"]; NSMutableDictionary *defaultsToRegister = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithCapacity:[preferences count]]; for(NSDictionary *prefSpecification in preferences) { NSString *key = [prefSpecification objectForKey:@"Key"]; if(key) { [defaultsToRegister setObject:[prefSpecification objectForKey:@"DefaultValue"] forKey:key]; } } [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:defaultsToRegister]; [defaultsToRegister release]; } - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { [self registerDefaultsFromSettingsBundle]; window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]]; [window makeKeyAndVisible]; return YES; }
