Show Developer Notices

So while we are deep in the forest, putting out fires, inspecting the underbrush... sometimes... I know just every so often, um, we forget to "undo" our developer hacks / changes.

I now call this method from applicationDidBecomeActive ... to help :-)

In a common header file I have:

#define kAllowCheats                    1   // 1 on, 0 off

In my game manager I have this:

-(void)checkDevSettings

{

    // Developer notices

    if (getenv("NSZombieEnabled") || getenv("NSAutoreleaseFreedObjectCheckEnabled")) {

        NSLog(@"NSZombieEnabled/NSAutoreleaseFreedObjectCheckEnabled enabled!");

        UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Developer Notice"

                                                        message:@"NSZombieEnabled is ON!\n* * *\nDisable BEFORE submitting!"

                                                       delegate:nil 

                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"Okay" 

                                              otherButtonTitles:nil];

        [alert show];

        [alert release];

    }

    if (kAllowCheats) {

        UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Developer Notice"

                                                        message:@"kAllowCheats is ON!\n* * *\nDisable BEFORE submitting!"

                                                       delegate:nil 

                                              cancelButtonTitle:@"Okay" 

                                              otherButtonTitles:nil];

        [alert show];

        [alert release];

    }

}

This first one I almost submitted an app, the second one; yup went live with my developer / cheat codes active. That wasn't a game center game so it wasn't a real problem but with all the hacking in Game Center games I suppose it could cause you extra work.
