Today Extension getting Error @ runtime using ios@1.5.2

[ravindragupta90]

issue faced : EXC_BAD_ACCESS at
runtime = [[TNSRuntime alloc] initWithApplicationPath:[NSBundle mainBundle].bundlePath];
on TodayWiget's main.m

Need to achive : want to create a Today's extension for iOS and update the label with the string which is saved in application-settings.

Approaches i have made :
My main application is in nativeScript, which i have built and created the extension from .xcodeproj in Xcode.

Approach 1 : I have followed this article (https://github.com/NativeScript/ios-runtime-docs/blob/d548447067a87ba7ed9af0b91bd8dc2ee1f486bb/extensions/TodayExtension.md) in Which i am getting this runtime error which is mention above. while following this article there was a line mentioned Under Setting up the MYTodayExtension Target Saying that "From the 'MYTodayApp' target's 'Build Phases' copy 'Generate Metadata' to the 'MYTodayExtension' target's 'Build Phases'." which i couldn't find in the xCode.

Approach 2 : I have created the TodayExtension as we create for normal iOS application. Which works perfectly. But i am unable to figure it out "How to get data from NSUserDefault". As i have also added the app-group compatibility, still i am facing the issue.

Did anyone else got it worked or faced same issue?
which above approach is advisable? or do we have some other approach?

Hi @jasssonpet,

Thanks, now its working good. Now my only concern is to update the label of widget with the data which is saved to application-settings from app.js. I tried using this
var userDefaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("key");
and this var appSettings = require("application-settings"); var strShares = appSettings.getString("key", "Dummy String"); approach inside viewDidLoad() method. But still i am unable to get the data.
Can anyone help me with this?

I'm not quite familiar with iOS extension development, but did you take a look at this SO question.
