Some Info.plist files are poorly formatted. I am using plistlib to read Info.plist file from various .app bundles. On some, plistlib.load raises a ValueError when trying to parse.
Examining one of these Info.plist files, it turns out *it* is poorly formatted, but while python's plistlib is unhappy, it passes "plutil -lint" just fine and "Foundation.NSDictionary.dictionaryWithContentsOfFile_" is happy to read it.
Here's a minimal sample 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>An array</key>
<array>
<string>a string</string>
<key>A wild key appears!</key>
<string>it has a string</string>
<string>another string</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
"""
plistlib (correctly, I think) says that's no good. Apple's tooling just ... changes the key to another string in the array and carries on.
I've attached an actual problematic Info.plist as well. |
