Can't access info.plist in Swift 2 framework

No matter what I do, I can't seem to access my Info.plist file in the root of my framework's folder. So far, my code looks like this:

    private var Config: NSDictionary {
    get {
        if let config = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("Info", ofType: "plist") {
            return NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: config)!
        }
        return Dictionary<String, AnyObject>()
    }
}

This returns a null Dictionary, as the if let config statement doesn't pass. I have also tried:

    private var Config: NSDictionary {
    get {
        if let config = NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary {
            return NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: config as! String)!
        }
        return Dictionary<String, AnyObject>()
    }
}

This time, the if let statement passes, but is a blank Dictionary (0 key/value pairs).

I am using Xcode 7.2.1. Help an iOS newbie out! Thanks in advance. :)

Solved!

After doing a bit more research, I found that access plists, or resources in general for that matter, are different for Frameworks. So, I tried:

            if let config = NSBundle(identifier: "Smoo.Framework")?.infoDictionary {
            return NSDictionary(dictionary: config["Key"] as! NSDictionary)
        }

("Smoo.Framework" being the name of the bundle my required plist is in)

And that works! Case closed. :)
