Question

I’m having trouble with a method to read my plist:

@synthesize data //NSMutableArray

-(void)readPlist{
plistFilePath = [NSString stringWithString:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"myPlist" ofType:@"plist"]];   
    data = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:plistFilePath];
    //here I use data, it doesn't matter for what
    [data release
}

If I do NSLog(@"%@", data) after data = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile : plistFilePath]; Xcode says data’s empty. I can’t find any error in the code, what’s wrong?

Your plist is not an array, it is a dictionary, so you should be using NSMutableDictionary instead.
