I had similar issue where the Value column was way too narrow. I tried making the window as small as possible and then resizing, but that didn't help. However, what seemed to resolve the issue for me was to click Add Editor on Right button (near the upper right corner with the "+") when Info.plist is displayed. This added a second window showing Info.plist with the Value column expanded all the way to the right edge, I closed the left pane with the narrow column. Now, even after quitting or opening other projects, I get the Value column expanded all the way to the right edge.

I had the same problem too. I think this is a Xcode 12 bug. I solved this by:

First open info.plist
Click on show or hide code review button on top right corner. It will split the window.
Again click the same button

I don't know how the problem is solved but it did.

I did manage to resize it after dragging the window bottom right border of the application window. Hope it helps anybody else struggling with it.

Try to add an editor (https://take.ms/V8fee) and then to close it. It fixed the issue for me.

I had the same problem. Drag the bottom right corner and make the window as small as you can, and then drag it back to full size. That fixed it for me.

@LeoDabus: I meant this to be a comment, not an answer. It was late and I clicked the wrong button. It was meant to be a follow on to your answer as some people didn't think to shrink and then expand. – Yrb Oct 08 '20 at 14:23

I had this problem and I found a trick for XCode 12.2 just open the plist file and press the (+) button ( in the top right of the editor page) to appear right editor and press it again to disappear, it worked for me.
