How to regenerate an iPhone Xcode info.plist file

Question

I have moved my iPhone app from one machine to another. In the process my info.plist file seems to have a bad bundle identifier and is not working. I want to create an entirely new info.plist file for my project.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

If you just want an empty info.plist file, then just select "New File..." on the "File" menu in XCode.

In the "New File" window you pick "Other" on the left hand and then "Property List" on the right hand.

Answer 2

Here's a clean info.plist for you. Don't forget to replace xxx.yyy, and rename xib file (if required)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt;
<plist version="1.0">

</plist>
