About

Property lists hold dictionaries, arrays, strings, numbers, dates and data. The DTD catches a key without a value, a stray element or a typo in a type name.

Good to know

  • Binary plists are not XML; convert them first with plutil -convert xml1.
  • Required keys (CFBundleIdentifier and so on) are an Xcode and App Store concern and are not checked by the DTD.
  • The example is by xmlvalid.com.
