Is there any way to check setup while archiving for the AppStore

Question

A question for general improvements of the code. I have an enum with configurations for the app:

    enum Configuration
    {
        static let useTestServer = true
        *etc*
    }

How can I check that useTestServer == false every time I archive the app for the app store? Cause there is always possibility to forget turning test server off while publishing.

You could use preprocessor macros and check for the existence of the predefined DEBUG symbol:

#if DEBUG
    // TODO: debug build setup
    static let useTestServer = true
#else
    // TODO: release build setup
    static let useTestServer = false
#endif

DEBUG is typically set to 1 at the target level (Targets > (your target) > Build Settings > Preprocessor Macros > Debug).
This question contains relevant information about preprocessor macros: #ifdef replacement in the Swift language
Hope this helps.

So, I can just use this construction in the AppDelegate to print("Don't use the test server while archiving, mate!") and it will be executed when the build is getting ready? – Eduard Feb 14 '17 at 14:42
#if / #else / #endif are compile-time macros so a print() won't have any effect until the code is actually run. What you might want to do is write `static let useTestServer = true` in the #if DEBUG block and `static let useTestServer = false` in the #else block. I edited my answer to clarify. – Olivier Feb 14 '17 at 14:51
