I am including a plist file in my iPhone app. It is in binary format (using plutil to convert from xml to binary). I want to run an MD5 checksum (or SHA-1) on it at runtime to confirm its contents are what is expected. Unfortunately, I always get a checksum that's different than what I originally included. After over an hour of assumi...
Hello, I'm working on an Objective-C/Cocoa roguelike, because I've always found that working on a game is the best way to learn about a language. I've gotten quite far with my game, but I'm having a problem. Each level.plist is defined with a few things, like so: <key>Save Location</key> <integer>0</integer> It's grabbed like so, I'...

My iphone app writes key-value pairs to a dictionary in a plist file. I'm basically saving the user's score when they play the game. This is all fine and dandy, but each time I run the app and get new scores, the new values get saved over the old values. How do I add information to the plist each time the user accesses the app instea...
My iPhone app generates some very nice-looking plist files. I can look at them through xcode 's plist editor and through any plain text editor when I just want the xml. But can I do anything else with this data? I tried importing the xml into a spreadsheet in NeoOffice, but it just showed the plain text. All I'm asking is this: Is t...

Hi Everyone: I am attempting to run an Applescript inside a launchd plist, but for some reason it just isn't working. It could be that it is my computer, but I am thinking that there may be something else wrong with it.

Hi, Is it possible to have two executables each with its own plist to share the same bundle. Then depends on the way app is executed (parameters) to load the appropriate executable. Imagine the case where we have a main application (executable with UI) and the mini application (shorter version of the main app also with its own UI) and ...

Hi I am building an iPhone app that has some default data inside it via a property list. This data is the source for my Model. What is the best way to manage this data so the user can read (and in a couple of cases write) data from this plist?
