While this can be done server-side, local configuration is faster. Apple provides NSUserDefaults to store small configuration items between the app and its extensions. These items must be PList serializable (NSData, NSString, NSNumber, NSDate, NSArray, & NSDictionary), but helper methods exist for serializing and deserializing primitives (as well as NSURL).
