Boolean value set to false in plist is coming out as true

I've got a boolean in a plist as so:

enter image description here

Which when viewed as source looks like:

enter image description here

And its read as:

 NSDictionary* configPlist = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"Config" ofType:@"plist"];
  BOOL shouldBeFalse = configPlist[@"WhyIsThisReturningTrue"];

But when the code is read shouldBeFalse is YES.

In the debugger configPlist's value for this is NO:enter image description here

Why therefore is shouldBeFalse getting set to YES when the code is run?

This is because you refer to the NSNumber pointer, not the value. It is somewhat similar to doing

    NSNumber * b = [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO];

    if ( b )
    {
        NSLog(@"This should fire, b is not nil" );
    }
    if ( b.boolValue )
    {
        NSLog(@"This should NOT fire, b's value is NO" );
    }

So just change it to e.g. [configPlist[@"WhyIsThisReturningTrue"] boolValue]
