Xcode: how to test main bundles .plist file content?

I'd like to ensure with unit tests that important values inside my main MyApp-Info.plist are there and correct. Is there a way to load that plist from within my unit test bundle?

You can include your Info.plist in the Unit test bundle as a resource as well. That way, there's no dependency on the host application. However, finding and loading the resource requires just a tiny bit of trickery that seems to always trip me up.

See this question for examples on how to do that from ObjC and Swift.

It depends on if you have set a host application for your test target. If there is no host application, then the file is not copied with the test.

If there is a host application you can get its plist contents with:

Swift:

Bundle.main.infoDictionary

Objective-C:

[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary]
