@lyndon: No, you cannot access any system preferences. This method only applies to your own preferences defined by and for your own app.

Hi,

Is that possible to manage settings as switch off the wifi or delete cache and history ?
Or are those what we can call core preferences?

Is it possible to change the Iphone’s core preferences with an app?

@Russell: You can read preferences from pretty much any file. So place that line of code where you need the value.

Just wondering what file do I place the following in
NSString *prefkey = [userDefaults stringForKey:@"prefkey"];

I have entered the code as your instructions above and all i get is an error: “initializer element is not constant”

Any clues?

@Bryan: Unfortunately there is no way to launch the Settings app from within your own app.

Nick:
Is there some easy way to have a “Settings” button link to our new settings bundle in the iPhone settings app?

Hey Gabe,
You just need to declare that variable. Example:
NSString *prefkey = [userDefaults stringForKey:@"prefkey"];
