Configure White Label Sample App File Exchange

Configuring constants files with the File Exchange feature is by far the best option

To get started

Create a folder set for Bear in the Library Project
Create an ApiAccountSettings file in the TheAppsPajamas.White/TapAssets/Bear folder

TapAssets/Bear/ApiAccountSettings.cs

        
using System;
namespace TheAppsPajamas.White.Constants
{
    public static class ApiAccountSettings
    {
        public const string Username = "bear";
        public const string Password = 
            "NEb46BEq944Z9WKgJxvpCZa8Ckh578kR8WQ";
    }
}

Repeat this process for the remaining Build Configs.

Note that because we supply the same configuration constants for BearRelease and BearDebug Build Configs we don't need to create constants for each individual configuration, just a parent app config.

Next switch to TheAppsPajamas Dashboard

Click BearRelease on the File exchange navigation
Click Add icon to create your first File exchange

The File exchange description field is only a descriptor, so use ApiAccountSettings
For Source file path use ./TapAssets/Bear/ApiAccountSettings.cs
For Destination file path use ./Constants/ApiAccountSettings.cs
For Destination file build action select Compile
Click Save

White Label BearRelease FileExchange Settings

For paths you can use forward slashes or backslashes and they will be converted to the correct format for Windows or Mac
You can tree walk up your project structure if you need files from outside your project

When you click BearDebug you will see that the Inheritance feature is used so that BearDebug recieves the correct configuration automatically.

White Label BearDebug FileExchange Inheritance Settings

When you save a File exchange record will be created using this data in all of your other Build configs but it will be Disabled until you configure it.

Next configure BlueRelease

Click BlueRelease on the File exchange navigation
Uncheck Disabled
Change Source file path to ./TapAssets/Blue/ApiAccountSettings.cs
Click Save

Repeat this process for the remaining Build Configs
