# CFBundleGetValueForInfoDictionaryKey(_:_:)

Returns a value (localized if possible) from a bundle’s information dictionary.

## Declaration

```swift
func CFBundleGetValueForInfoDictionaryKey(_ bundle: CFBundle!, _ key: CFString!) -> CFTypeRef!
```

## Parameters

- `bundle`: The bundle to examine.
- `key`: The key for the value to return.

## Return Value

Return Value A value corresponding to key in bundle’s information dictionary. If available, a localized value is returned, otherwise the global value is returned. Ownership follows the The Get Rule.

## Discussion

Discussion You should use this function rather than retrieving values directly from the info dictionary (Info.plist) because CFBundleGetValueForInfoDictionaryKey returns localized values if any are available (from the InfoPlist.strings file for the current locale).
