GroundControl is an Objective-C library for iOS that enables remote configuration of apps by fetching a plist file over HTTP and registering it with NSUserDefaults. It supports feature flags, A/B testing, and remote settings without downloading new code.

Use cases

  • remotely configure ios app settings
  • add feature flags to an ios app
  • run a/b tests without app store release
  • show a remote message of the day in my app
  • fetch remote defaults plist into nsuserdefaults

When to choose

  • you maintain a legacy Objective-C iOS app needing simple remote config via a static plist endpoint
  • you want a minimal NSUserDefaults-based feature flag mechanism

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new project - the library is explicitly unmaintained since 2021
  • you need a full-featured remote config service with targeting, rollout, or analytics
  • your project is written in Swift or uses modern tooling
