Editing property lists for FxPlug plug-ins

Editing property lists for FxPlug plug-ins Modify the way hosts recognize and display your FxPlug plug-in.

Overview

FxPlug plug-ins typically have more than one Info.plist file: one in the application bundle and one in the XPC service. Although the application’s Info.plist doesn’t require any changes, your XPC’s Info.plist requires some changes to create a functioning plug-in.

Add the following key-value pairs to your XPC Info.plist, using the associated values listed below for your plug-in. Below is an example of a complete Info.plist.

Tip Add entries to property lists by control-clicking in the blank space below the last entry and selecting Add Row, or hovering the mouse over an existing entry and clicking the + button. After selecting the appropriate key (or typing it in manually) change the type for the type of key you require (String, Number, Dictionary, Array, etc.) To add components to a Dictionary or Array, first turn down the arrow before clicking the + button.
