I'm having a plist file which has some values with the "&" sing for example M&I, when i save the file to document folder and load it from their,i'm getting empty dictatiory, any idea to how to fix this issue.
The Info. plist file contains critical information about the configuration of an iOS mobile app—such as iOS versions that are supported and device compatibility—which the operating system uses to interact with the app. This file is automatically created when the mobile app is compiled.
(1) (Properties LIST) A file in the Mac and GNUstep environments that stores user settings. The pList is also used to hold meta-data about Mac application bundles (see APP file).
Apple Property List (PLIST) files are used to store serialized objects. They are mostly used in macOS, iOS, NeXTSTEP, and GNUstep programming frameworks.
A PLIST file is a special text file that contains data in the Property List format. The file is used by macOS, iOS, and iPadOS applications to store settings and other data in a key-value format with an XML structure. For example, every iPhone app includes at least one PLIST file called Info.
If you are directly modifying the XML file, you have to escape certain characters - &
should be escaped using the XML entity &
. If you use the editors, this should be done automatically for you.
If you use CDATA
sections instead, you don't have to escape the characters.
