In my application , I need to add settings (turn off advertising , video play , notification and more ). How to control my entire application according to this settings?
Thanks in advance.
Adding Settings inside application:
You can use custom UITableView and NSUserDefaults for creating a custom settings page like that.
Or you can use a third-party control called InAppSettingsKit
Adding Settings in Settings application:
You need to use Settings.bundle for adding the settings to settings application.
Check Implementing an iOS Settings Bundle for more details.

I want to build app settings preferences inside my app which should look just like default settings preferences in an iPhone.
Can we display preferences inside the app using default iOS settings bundle?
Is there any default framework to do so?
How does iOS settings bundle work?
According to this: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/UserDefaults/Preferences/Preferences.html, app have two options for presenting preferences:
1) Display preferences inside the app.
2) Use a Settings bundle to manage preferences from the Settings app.
can iOS settings bundle work for first option?
The settings bundle is used to display customised settings parameters (eg:like app endpoint) in settings screen entry respective to your app. You wont be able to use in anyway the UI screens of settings app inside your own application.
Is there any steps to create settings entry without settings bundle.
When I searched how to add my app to settings app in ios, i found that we need to add settings bundle. I also found some project that get added to settings app without settings bundle. how it is done?
If we register for push or VOIP notification, do the settings entry automatically get created?
Thank you,
Yes your app automatically will display in setting app for different permission like camara,photolibrary,location,microphone etc. Whatever functionality you will used your app add that category in setting app.
So, if you implement VOIP or push notification(for example successfully register for notification) then setting app will show settings about that also.
I'm creating an app where i need to create own app settings. These settings needs to be shown in a viewcontroller. i've created an settings.bundle how can i associate this with a viewcontroller? i've tried to follow different tutorials, but all cases they are being show under the iphone settings. if this is not possible how can i then achieve this?
Assuming you have implemented working tutorial code correctly, you will need to delete your app and reinstall it in order to access data from the settings bundle. Hope this helps!
Note: This is necessary if settings.bundle has just been added to your target.
In my app I have some settings that are accessible within the Setting native app... a normal Settings.bundle file.
The question is "is possible from my application open Settings app to the settings page of my app to facilitate the user experience?"
Thanks.
I didn't realise this wasn't possible as the other answers/comments indicate. But I've been using InAppSettingsKit to mimic that behaviour anyway.
It reads from your Settings.bundle and creates a view controller based on the information.
I would like to let the user access the settings for the app both from iOS Settings app and from the app itself.
Right now I am using Settings.bundle to access the settings from the Settings app, is there an easy way to implement a controller inside the app to access the same settings?
As a side question, is there an easy way to implement a settings-like view starting from a plist?
There are a few Open Source projects to do just this. About a year ago I evaluated all the ones I could find and ended up using InAppSettingsKit. Second place was mySettings, but it looks as though that is no longer being maintained.
