## Discussion

Discussion Use SHA-256 hashes instead of MD5 because SHA-256 has stronger security. If both SHA-256 and MD5 hash properties are present, the device uses only the SHA-256 hashes to verify the manifest data. Example Manifest <?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>items</key>     <array>         <dict>             <key>assets</key>             <array>                 <dict>                     <key>kind</key>                     <string>display-image</string>                     <key>url</key>                     <string>https://data.example.com/sampleapp.png</string>                 </dict>                 <dict>                     <key>kind</key>                     <string>software-package</string>                     <key>url</key>                     <string>https://data.example.com/sampleapp.ipa</string>                 </dict>             </array>             <key>metadata</key>             <dict>                 <key>bundle-identifier</key>                 <string>com.example.sampleapp</string>                 <key>bundle-version</key>                 <string>1.2</string>                 <key>developer-name</key>                 <string>Example Inc.</string>                 <key>kind</key>                 <string>software</string>                 <key>title</key>                 <string>The Sample App</string>             </dict>         </dict>     </array> </dict> </plist>
