Question

I’m writing an iphone application that pulls xlsx file from the server, manipulates with it (reading and writing to it) and upload it to the server. So I need to convert it to plist format, do some operations with plist and convert plist back to xlsx and upload it to server.
How the convertion xlsx->plist and plist->xlsx could be done on ios?
