How to get an about screen in your settings bundle in ios?

I have an easy question, though I'm not sure if it's doable or not:

How can I add an "about" page to my settings.bundle in iOS?

I have seen it done before. Just have a look at the facebook application settings. When you tap "about", you get an entire page full of text.

How is this done?

Are they relying on internal API perhaps?

Solution

  • It is called a 'Child Pane'- From Apple Documentation;

    "The child pane type lets the user navigate to a new page of preferences. You use this type to implement hierarchical preferences. For more information on how you configure and use this preference type, see “Hierarchical Preferences.” The key for this type is PSChildPaneSpecifier."
