Question

I know there are thousands of tutorials on the topic however I don’t get it to work.
What I am trying to do is to read an value from a plist file. Then I check whether or not I have to update the value. This part is ok. However I don’t managed to get the value saved in plist file. I have a Settings.Bundle and it is where I am trying to read/store.

It is just a simple string.

Thanks in advance

The following will give you a NSDictionary with your settings bundle information.

[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary]

If there are any other generic plist you would like to read you can easily load them into a NSDictionary using

[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
//or
[[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:filePath]

Also I would like to add for reading and saving values I would recommend doing that in the NSUserDefaults

NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
id anObj = [userDefaults objectForKey:@"myKey"];
//Modify anObj
...
[userDefaults setObject:anObj forKey:@"myKey"];
[userDefaults synchronize];//Save immediately if you choose
