    Check the path of `Info.plist` in Build Settings. It's a relative path and probably doesn't match the new location. – vadian Jun 07 '16 at 09:14

    find `info.plist` file & `Remove reference` from project & add that file again to project.. This worked for me... – Sneha Jun 07 '16 at 09:16
  • Tried both way but no success yet... – Lalit Jun 07 '16 at 09:29

This error happens when the system can not locate the info.plist file from your file hierarchy.

Consider this situation: I moved the info.plist file to the group "Others" like this..

enter image description here

Goto Target - Tap Build Settings - Find "info.plist"

enter image description here

Here, the system will search the info.plist in AddModifyDelete folder. But the actual file is under AddModifyDelete/Others. So, change it to AddModifyDelete/Others/info.plist

Now it should work!!

Note: This is also applicable to entitlements file. We should define the right path for both info.plist & entitlements file to avoid this error.

Please try either of the two ways :-

First Try :

The solution for this particular instance of the error was “Info.plist couldn't be opened because there is no such file” was that I had deleted all of the files in the "Project Tests" folder, but was still had "Project Tests" listed under my targets. After deleting the "tests" target, the project built successfully.

Last Try :

1) Go to :- App Target 2) See the Identify ---and choose the Plist

  • Hey lalit , is your previous machine is available from where you shifted your code.If it is available copy the plist from that code and remove the reference from here and paste it. – Ankit Jun 08 '16 at 08:59
  • You're welcome. If my answer helped you then vote me up. – Ankit Jun 10 '16 at 04:26

Error: The file “Info.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file. This error occurs when you change the location of the Info.plist file. To fix this issue, follow the below steps.

  1. Go to the navigator pane.
  2. Click on error symbol located near to the project name.
  3. It will open the analyze screen.
  4. Click on Choose Info.plist file.
  5. Select Info.plist and click on choose button.
  6. Click on product option and clean the project.

Or you can try

Maybe your plist has incorrect format, because of a conflict from git pull, so you should open your .plist file with text editor and resolve the conflict, and then reopen your project with Xcode, everything is OK.
