Define the target configuration Type of configuration from the static library

How can I get the build configuration type from a static library (debug or release)?
We usually use it #ifdef DEBUG

, but in this case it won't work as this check is compile time and our static library is already compiled.

If you just want to know if the application was compiled during debug or production (AdHoc equals production), you can use the following method, which can be called in a static library:

+ (BOOL)isDevelopmentBuild
{
#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
    return YES;
#else
    BOOL isDevelopment = NO;

    // There is no provisioning profile in AppStore Apps.
    NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[NSBundle.mainBundle pathForResource:@"embedded" ofType:@"mobileprovision"]];
    if (data) {
        const char *bytes = [data bytes];
        NSMutableString *profile = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithCapacity:data.length];
        for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
            [profile appendFormat:@"%c", bytes[i]];
        }
        // Look for debug value, if detected we're in a development build.
        NSString *cleared = [[profile componentsSeparatedByCharactersInSet:NSCharacterSet.whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet] componentsJoinedByString:@""];
        isDevelopment = ([cleared rangeOfString:@"<key>get-task-allow</key><true/>"].length > 0);
    } 

    return isDevelopment;
#endif
}


Note that it will return YES if the app is in development mode.
