APM project as template generator

[spielepalast]

We would like to use APM configuration to generate templates. It works already for most properties except for boolean values. For example the following is not generated in the output manifest due to the non boolean value [GET_TASK_ALLOW]:

"getTaskAllow": {
            "name": "getTaskAllow",
            "required": "true",
            "value": "[GET_TASK_ALLOW]"
 },

Can you elaborate some more for me? What exactly is failing?

This would work:

"getTaskAllow": {
            "name": "getTaskAllow",
            "required": "true",
            "value": "false"
 }

but this is not working:

"getTaskAllow": {
            "name": "getTaskAllow",
            "required": "true",
            "value": "AbcXYZ"
 },

What is the need for this though? We do use some of these values to determine what fields should be used, as some values aren't allowed in app store releases based on flags like this. So they sort of need to be valid for the info additions generation to correctly generate the app descriptor.

Well, then there is not much that can be done. The need for this came down from using APM to generate an app descriptor that can be processed again to modify some values "on the fly", without re-generating it.
