How do I comment out lines in my .plist
file in my iOS/Mac projects?
I want to comment out the settings that I don't want to expose for this version of the project, but I may want to expose it later.
Syntax of plist is pretty much like XML, so you can use XML style comments.
<!--
<dict>
<key>Hello</key>
<string>World</string>
</dict>
-->
Xcode seems to believe that the <comment>
tag corrupts the data. It will also strip out XML-style <!-- comments -->
when viewing the plist in Xcode. It seems that a string entry, e.g.
<key>Comment</key>
<string>My comment</string>
is the only way to reliably persist the comments.
