How do I dynamically set a static "#define" variable in a header (.h) file?

I am using an open source component in my iOS project (sharekit), and they defined static variables in the header file. For example, in SHKConfig.h they define the App Name as:

#define SHKMyAppName            @"My App Name"

What I would like to do is make this dynamic; I don't want to hard-code those variables in that specific file. Since there is obviously no viewDidLoad method in a header file (as far as I know), how could I possibly dynamically assign this variable?

Is this even possible?

Thank you very much in advance!!!

Solution

  • #define is always evaluated during code compilation. You should modify the library to get this functionality.

    Another solution is the following. Create some class Provider with a

    + (NSString *)getYourConstant;

    method and use the following macro

    #import "Provider.h"

#define kTheConstantYouNeed [Provider getYourConstant]
