App settings appear in simulator but not on device

问题:

Hey folks, I'm setting up my first application settings bundle right now. I went through the process of creating a Settings.bundle in the project root, settings the Root.plist to display as an iPhone Settings plist, etc.

So – the app's settings panel displays in Settings.app just as I would expect in the iPhone Simulator. However, it is not present in my device settings when I deploy there. My test device is an iPod Touch running iOS4. I've rebooted the device just to make sure everything has reloaded... still nothing. Can anyone think of a reason that my settings panel would work in the Simulator but not on my Device?

Thanks for you help!

You may need to run your app at least once after installing your app before the app's setting will appear.

Not sure if a quit and restart of the Settings app (from the "multi-tasking" bar) might also be required.

I've experienced this myself - it usually happens when you mistype a key in the plist or if required keys are missing.
