How to have another way to edit the info.plist file in Xcode

The info.plist file that’s included in Xcode tells your app information about it.

• The name of the app.
• The version number.
• The orientations that the app can be shown in.
• And more.

Although rarely, app creators may have to edit this file from time to time.  There are two ways to edit the file.

Option #1:

Open an Xcode project.

1. Click on the project’s name at the top of the Project Navigator.
2. Find the TARGET section (right side).
3. Click on the Target.
4. On the upper-right window, find Info.
5. You can now edit the file.
6. That’s it. 

Option #2:

1. Open an Xcode project.
2. In the Project Navigator, find the info.plist file.
3. Right click on the file.
4. Select Open As….
5. You have two options:
6. 1) Source Code – Will bring up an editor where you can edit the raw file.
7. 2) Property List – You’ll see an editor like the one shown in option #1, #6.
8. That’s it.
