Garlic – A drag-n-drop Remote Configuration Framework for iOS (objective-c)

Features:

• Easy 1-line integration
• ZERO libraries required (not even AFNetworking!)
• Remote feature flags
• Local settings fallback
• Custom remote settings
• Force updates
• No collisions with other frameworks

Setup:

In most cases, you want to load remote settings either in the lifecycle events in your AppDelegate or ViewController, or anywhere else you like:

1. #import “Garlic.h”
2. Init and setup Garlic with a remote settings plist URL and a completion block: [[Garlic sharedInstance] setupWithRemoteConfigURL:@”{{your-remote-settings-plist-url-here.com}}” completionHandler:^(void){ // code to run when setup was done }

Force update:

Determine if the app should be updated, based on build numbers

if ([[Garlic sharedInstance] shouldForceUpdateApp]) { // ask user to update app }

Feature flags:

Check if a feature should be activated

if ([[Garlic sharedInstance] shouldAllowFeature:@”{{your-feature-name-here}}”]) { // show the button/menu that enables that feature}

Custom values:

Get remote values for your custom purposes

NSString *tipOfTheDay = [[Garlic sharedInstance] getSettingForKey:@”TipOfTheDay-2015-11-27″]

Future features:

1. Force synchronous url request
2. Load settings from JSONs and XMLs, in addition to plists
3. POST remote settings: change remote settings in the server when shaking the device
4. Web-based remote settings editor
5. Push updates: engage a remote settings update using a push notification
6. Targeted Feature Flags: toggle features for specific user IDs, geolocations, device models..
