How to get nsUserDefaults values in a DevExtreme application on iOS

Hello Jay
To check if it is possible to get nsUserDefaults values, you need to install your application on a real device and call the 'Fetch' method.
I have created a simple template application and project to demonstrate this.

Thanks, Vlad K

Here is what AirWatch  sent me…
 This worked when I changed the retrieve values to dict …

Summary of Issue
•Customer would like to know how to pull application configuration data from the console.

The following was forwarded to me by an engineer on our Applications Team:

The variable needs to be included in a specific part of the code for AirWatch to be able to send configuration. That specific part of the code is called NSDictionary for iOS & for the Android platform please refer to the notes outlined below (more details for the iOS platform is included below as well).

For the Apple device platform:

Enable Send Application Configuration(iOS 7+ only) to send application configurations to iOS devices. This feature allows you to automatically configure managed applications. Users do not have to manually configure these specified values in the application. Enter the configuration values as unique keys into the appropriate fields. Supported entries for key/value pairs are String, Number, Boolean and Date. You can also use Lookup Values when entering the application configurations. Your internal app has to be developed in such a way to support these functionality.

Example 1:

You can test out the following code to the iOS application that you're developing:

We can push down the UDID as application configuration in one of the variables (configuration key) of the app that is already in the app's code. Following is the process we can use.

In the app's code, we can put to use:
NSDictionary *dict = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] dictionaryForKey:@"com.apple.configuration.managed"];
NSString *UDID = dict[@"UDIDKey"];

In the above code, we created a configuration key 'UDIDKey' and we will pass the UDID value from AirWatch into this configuration key variable.

Example 2:

The following code snippet example is used to pass UDID collected to JavaScript:
NSDictionary *dict = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
dictionaryForKey:@"com.apple.configuration.managed"];
NSString *UDID = dict[@"UDIDKey"];

NSDictionary *namesDict = @{@"uDID": UDID };
NSError *error;
NSData *uDIDData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:namesDict
options:0
error:&error];
NSString *uDIDJSON = [ [NSString alloc] initWithData:uDIDData
encoding:
NSUTF8StringEncoding] ;
NSString *jsCommand = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"setUDID(%@)",
uDIDJSON];
[self.webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsCommand];

For the Android device platform:

On Android there is also no native MDM command for configuring applications. To provide the same capability on Android, the AirWatch MDM agent will facilitate the application configuration using a broadcast intent. When the app is published from the AirWatch console, the AirWatch MDM agent will receive the managed app settings. Once received, the MDM app will listen for the app installation event to detect when the managed app is installed. As soon as the managed app is installed, the AirWatch MDM Agent will broadcast the intent to the managed app. As long the managed app is modified with the following, the app will receive notification of enrollment state and configuration information upon receiving the broadcast intents.

AndroidManifest.xml
<receiver android:name="app.package.namespace.ManagedAppInfoReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.airwatch.android.MANAGEMENT_STATUS_ACTION"/>
<action android:name="com.airwatch.android.MANAGEMENT_CONFIG_ACTION"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
