Question

I have a plist with an array at top level and then a number of items within it.

When I try the following

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
NSString *finalPath = [path stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Spots.plist"];

spotsArray = [[NSMutableArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:finalPath] retain];

the array spotsArray is empty.

I have tried a number of things and have used plists successfully before. I dont know what the issue is now.

What could be causing the issue, my plist looks like this

It’s not an array at the top level it’s a dictionary with a single item called ‘New Item’.

Try NSMutableArray *mutableArray = [[[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:finalPath] objectForKey:@"New Item"] mutableCopy] autorelease]
