plist files is nothing more than XML document that Xcode view in his own way. You can Right click -> Open as -> Source Code to get view you want.

Also you can add to plist directly by clicking plus sign or Right click -> Add Row. Default view of plist can give you a suggestions, so I recommend you to use this instead of viewing as XML

The second option - right click - this works in Xcode 6. – App Dev Guy Dec 09 '14 at 02:27
this is a much cleaner option than the table view list format it is by default – Ryan Cocuzzo Jul 26 '16 at 05:07

may be worth mentioning how to get there..

Info.plist is one of the file below the Main.storyboard or viewController.swift

when you click on it first time it usually is in a table format,so right click the file and 'open as' Source code and then add the code

If you want to view it as XML, just find the plist file and open it with your favorite editor. Something like TextWrangler. And then add your key-value pairs.

XCODE 13

You do not see your info.plist file in project folder until you try to modify it for the first time (lets say by adding value) in target -> Info - example seen on below:

.

After you add any value in targets, the info.plist will be created and available for you somewhere in your project folder (example below)

@Joe IN case ox XML you need to right-click on "Info" and select "Open with external editor" – Mr.SwiftOak Jul 18 '23 at 13:01
