Frequently asked questions

What is Info.plist?

It is a property-list file that supplies essential configuration for a bundled executable, including bundle identity and version information.

Can I add more keys later?

Yes. Download the XML and add target-specific keys in Xcode. This generator focuses on a clean, valid starting point.

Does this validate App Store requirements?

No. Requirements vary with capabilities and change over time; review Xcode diagnostics and Apple's current documentation before release.
