settings.bundle - Why is my iOS app forcing a Settings Bundle

Question

I can not figure out why when I debug my app it always has a Settings Bundle. The only option in the settings page is "Use Cellular Data." It has the Settings Bundle on my iPhone 6 Plus, but not on my 4S. I have deleted my app, cleaned my project, and deleted the derived data in Organizer. I have never had a Settings.bundle in my project before. I've tested all my libraries in another app, it does not force a setting bundle. Both iPhones are running iOS 8.2. Is there anything I'm missing? Is there any secret Xcode build setting or plist setting that's forcing this Settings Bundle?

Answer 1

As of iOS 8.0, a settings page is shown for all apps even if the app doesn't have a settings bundle.

The iOS 8 settings page appears without a settings bundle if the app does any of the following:

• Attempts to access data via a cellular network
• Various privacy data
  • Camera
  • Microphone
  • Photo library
  • Contacts
• Location
• Notifications
• Background data fetch

A settings page may not appear for an app if none of these conditions have yet been met.
