Question

Whenever I want to get data from a plist file I use the following code:

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"FILE_NAME" ofType:@"plist"];
NSDictionary *plistData = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:filePath]; 

But now I’m trying to read in data from the Info plist, and filePath is nil. Is there a different way to get data from the Info plist?

Answer 1

From an earlier SO answer of mine. Attributes from the info.plist for your project are directly accessible by the following…

[[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:key_name];

Your filePath is nil simply because it can’t find the file – check spellings & check if the file you are trying to read from is actually in the bundle etc.
