What would be the most simple solution for a mostly static configuration?
My app will probably never be in the store so I guess syncing of properties through the Garmin app etc is not on table. The app will probably mostly appeal to a small set of nerds so I'm not looking at building configuration into the application. I would prefer to read a simple external json (or foo=bar format properties file) from the file system but understandably you can't access files just like that from an app. There is apparently a <appname>.SET file in the apps/settings folder but the format is binary so nothing the user could tinker with easily.
I've also considered reading the settings from a text message or fetching it from a url but that still sounds a bit like a hack. Is a plain-text, external file like I dreamed of doable?
Thanks in advance,
Nik
