React-native-config: Can the documentation be updated for defining config values in Info.plist?

Created on 26 Jun 2020 · 4Comments · Source: luggit/react-native-config

It seems like there are a few different recommendations floating around for defining config values in Info.plist.

There's the outdated __RN_*** format, and the since-updated$(***) format (is this outdated now too?):
https://github.com/luggit/react-native-config/issues/413#issuecomment-558609214

And finally there's the most recent RNC_*** format:
https://github.com/luggit/react-native-config/issues/437#issuecomment-643771808

Furthermore, there's a potential issue with Info.plist config values when initially building for iOS:

What is the recommended Info.plist usage and setup for react-native-config? Could there at least be an addendum to the troubleshooting section?

From my experience with current version (1.3.3) of package, you should follow readme steps, and instead of using $(RNC_XXXXX) use $(***) - the one which works.

@mantasmas
Same, current documentation says $(RNC_XXXXX) but $(XXXXX) worked for me..

I'm using v1.3.3

It's a bit of a mess isn't it? I was the one that created #413 and I'm still using __RN_*** and version 0.11.7 of this package because every time I've tried to update it I've become unstuck. Looking for an alternative solution now.
