iOS Read and use data of embeded Info.plist

[alexmalex021]

I wrote a commandline tool for a jailbroken iPhone.for use settings in this tool i create a info.plist file and embed to the binary file(same tool).
Now i have a question.
How can i read the info.plist data in the same tool?
i test some methods.but not working.like:

id someValue =[[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:someKey];

First convert info.plist into an NSDictionary:

    NSDictionary *info = [[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary];

Then you can read it's objects easily:

  NSString *bundleName = info[@"CFBundleName"];

Thanks for your answer.

I used your method,but it return Null for my specific key.

i have a simple Info.plist file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>reloadTime</key>
    <string>20</string>
</dict>
</plist>

I use this tool for embedding Info.plist to the binary.


Did you test or used your code?

This was tested using the Info.plist that is generated at project creation

Did you test with commandline iOS tool? in jailbroken iPhone?

Could you add a new key-value pair to the default Info.plist and test it? test with new key and access new value
I cannot access

I used a Fat binary.Is that make a problem?

I tested this method for getting __info_plist data,but this method return wrong data and so cannot convert to plist and nsdictionary.
