i apologize if this question / issue has been posted already. im finally getting into devving on the iPhone and i was working with some example apps to get the swing of things. i tried to compile the AppPrefs example from the iphone dev section, it works in the simulator but once copied to the iPhone (after ldid -S of course) the app runs but the preference bundle does not show up in settings. For the life of me i couldn't figure out anything that changed in creating these bundles so i am completely lost on trying to figure out why the settings are not showing up in the settings section.

thanks and i apologize if this has been answered or if this is a stupid question.

I've mentioned this problem here.

It seems that the "Settings.bundle" is not used for Applications under /Applications. There's no solution unless we find a possibility to install Applications via Xcode/Organizer or to ~mobile/Applications.

You can also manually edit /Applications/Preferences.app/General.plist or /Applications/Preferences.app/Settings-iPhone.plist and manually add a link to your bundle. You can then put your PreferenceBundle in...what was it? afaik it is /System/Library/PreferenceBundles/

Hope this helps, not quite sure if this is what you meant

thanks very much , exactly what i was looking for. do you have an example of how you have edited general to get it to recognize your bundle? i had tried copyig the bundle into the preferencebundle folder before the post i made (the initial one) but never tried to actually edit any of the other plist files to point towards it.

thanks

edit: so i tried putting in the settings bundle (as CrashLanding.bundle) in the PreferenceBundles folder and added

<dict>
<key>bundle</key>
<string>CrashLanding</string>
<key>cell</key>
<string>PSLinkCell</string>
<key>detail</key>
<string>CrashLandingController</string>
<key>label</key>
<string>Crash Landing</string>
</dict>

to the General.plist (im just modifying the CrashLanding game and adding some settings preferences just as a segueway into settings bundles in general) either way no matter what i do i can't get any settings to show up at all in general or in the root settings (i understand its currently not possible or not known how to do this on a jailbreak phone in 2.0)

any hints?
