MHHabitat is a library used to differentiate between build configurations of an iOS application at runtime. It accomplishes this by inspecting the embedded.mobileprovision file that the Xcode toolchain includes during the application packaging process. Common use cases include runtime toggling of api server endpoints, logging verbosity, access to In-App-Purchase assets, etc.
MHHabitat supports detection of the following runtime environments:
- Development
MHMobileProvisionTypeDebug - AdHoc
MHMobileProvisionTypeAdHoc - Enterprise
MHMobileProvisionTypeEnterprise - AppStore
MHMobileProvisionTypeAppStore
In the case that MHHabitat can't find or parse the embedded.mobileprovision file, it will default to MHMobileProvisionTypeAppStore in order to prevent any user-facing issues. This holds true except when compiled for iOS Simulator (TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR), in which case a parsing failure will return MHMobileProvisionTypeUndetermined.
// Logging the current environment
NSLog(@"Current app environment is: %@", [MHHabitat mobileProvisionTypeString]);
// Toggle behavior based on environment
