Where Is Info.Plist in Xcode 13? (Missing, Not Inside Project Navigator)

Where is Info.plist in Xcode 13? (missing, not inside project navigator)

It's a "feature."

You don't need it anymore. From the Release Notes:

Projects created from several templates no longer require configuration files such as entitlements and Info.plist files. Configure common fields in the target’s Info tab, and build settings in the project editor. These files are added to the project when additional fields are used. (68254857)

So, instead of inside Info.plist, edit properties like NSCameraUsageDescription here:

Project -> Targets -> Info -> Custom iOS Target Properties

Options similar to those previously found in Info.plist

The first time you add/edit, Xcode will automatically generate a new Info.plist file that’s kind of synced¹ with Custom iOS Target Properties. Xcode will later merge them for you.

^{[1]: They’re not fully synced. Some properties like NSCameraUsageDescription will only appear in Custom iOS Target Properties, while Application requires iPhone environment will appear in both. I have no idea how Xcode determines this.}

Want `Info.plist` back, completely?

You might want all of your app's properties in one place. Or maybe you don't trust Xcode with the merging. I spoke with an Apple engineer at WWDC21 about this... here's how to get the classic Info.plist back.

Create a new "Property List" file (File -> New -> File)

Property List option selected in new file popup

Name it Info.plist

File will be saved in the same file hierarchy level as ContentView.swift

Copy and paste the existing values from Project -> Targets -> Info -> Custom iOS Target Properties to Info.plist.

Copy	Paste

Xcode can't open Info.plist -- error says there is no such file

That the file exists in your Xcode project folder isn't enough. Have you verified the file is properly referenced in your application target's build settings so it's properly copied into the app bundle? It's not quite the same as a standard resource (ie, it's not made a member of the target in the set of target membership check boxes) but rather a build setting because of its importance in a properly-formatted bundle.

Navigate to the project (select it in the Project navigator), select the application target in the list of targets, then click the Build Settings tab. Under the Packaging section, make sure the "Info.plist File" is properly set to the location/file name.

How to tell Xcode where my info.plist and .pch files are

Found it.
It was in the settings for the Target.

Choose Target in the Groups and Files pane on the left.
Right-Click and choose Get Info
Search for "Info.Plist" and type in the filename for the correct plist file into the property of the item named "Info.Plist File".
Then search for "Prefix" and find the item named "Prefix Header".
Change it's property to the name of the correct .pch file that you are using.

I think these different "Info" windows are confusing. You have to make sure the right file is selected in the Groups and Files pane before selecting "Get Info", and it's hard to tell if what you're doing is actually making changes to the Info.plist file, or where your changes are being saved.

Info.plist is absent from left column (but present in FInder)

You should add your Info.plist manually because you need to set folder reference.

Simply ->

Open your Info.plist directory in Finder,
Drag and drop your Info.plist to XCode's left column (Project Navigator)

I hope it will work for you.

Enjoy!

Where can i find info.plist file?

The Info.plist file is by default located in the root folder of your application's bundle, it's derived from the {ProjectName}-Info.plist file in the Xcode project. By default it's listed in a group called Supporting Files.

Could not find a valid GoogleService-Info.plist in your project

Remove the Google-Info.plist file from your project and try to add it from your project folder's option menu.

this is how you remove a plist file
