Configure Links & Other Settings

Most of the configurations you need to make is in RootViewController.m file.

You can change the constants directly:

NSString * const kWebAppStartLink = @"http://yourwebapp.com/";
NSString * const kWebAppHost = @"yourwebapp.com";

Or you can leave them untouched and change it in the -configure: method.

- (void)configure
{
    // Init start URL.
    
    self.startURL = [NSURL URLWithString:kWebAppStartLink];
    
    // Set web app host.
    
    self.webAppHost = kWebAppHost;
    
    // Set other internal hosts.
    
    self.otherInternalHosts = @[
                                @"googleads.g.doubleclick.net",
                                @"metric.gstatic.com"
                                ];
    
    // Set blocked hosts.
    
    self.blockedHosts = @[
                          @"about:blank"
                          ];
    
    // Set max fail refresh count.
    
    self.maxFailRefreshCount = kWebAppMaxFailRefreshCount;
    [self resetFailRefreshCount];
}

Here are some concepts you might want to know more about.

Start URL - It is the first web page you want to see when you launch the app.
Web App Host - The host of your web app. Most your web pages should be under this domain.
Other Internal Hosts - Some other hosts you want to permit request to. For example, Google Analytics and Google AdSense. So we won't open them in an in-app browser.
Blocked Hosts - The hosts you don't want the app to have access to. For example, you can add Google AdSense to block ads.
Max Fail Refresh Count - When the app fails to open a web page, it will automatically retry a few times before alerting user.

Localization

This project uses NSLocalizedString() to manage multi language. You can use genstrings command in Terminal to generate a Localizable.strings file and translate to the language you want on your own.

Launch Image (Splash Screen)

You can replace these images:

Icon

You can drag your icons into App Icons in Summary tab of iOS Application Target.

App Name

And of course don't forget to change the name to your app's name. You can do this by changing the build target name.
