Ruby Hash - Initialization

  • + 0 comments

    I’m working on a Ruby-based script to automate some JSON-based config generation for an iOS utility — something like what you’d see in an iOS on-device signing tool, which uses signed manifests for app installs.

    I’m using Hash.new { |h, k| h[k] = [] } to initialize defaults, but weirdly, values don’t persist as expected when nested keys are involved. Anyone else run into Ruby hash quirks like this when dynamically generating configs or parsing app metadata?

    Trying to avoid unnecessary .dig chains or manual nil checks if possible.
