Info.plist

Question

This documentation https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Conceptual/iCloudDesignGuide/Chapters/DesigningForDocumentsIniCloud.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012094-CH2-SW20under the heading Enabling Document Storage in iCloud Drive tells me to add a key to the Info.plist file and shows an example which I've cut and pasted below:&lt;key&gt;NSUbiquitousContainers&lt;/key&gt;  &lt;dict&gt;  &lt;key&gt;iCloud.com.example.MyApp&lt;/key&gt;  &lt;dict&gt;  &lt;key&gt;NSUbiquitousContainerIsDocumentScopePublic&lt;/key&gt;  &lt;true/&gt;  &lt;key&gt;NSUbiquitousContainerSupportedFolderLevels&lt;/key&gt;  &lt;string&gt;Any&lt;/string&gt;  &lt;key&gt;NSUbiquitousContainerName&lt;/key&gt;  &lt;string&gt;MyApp&lt;/string&gt;  &lt;/dict&gt;  &lt;/dict&gt;When I look at the Info.plist file in Xcode, it doesn't look like this.  It looks like a list with controls that allow me to select from lists of options.  How do I add the keys this documentation tells me to add?

The above example is from a raw plist - you can do that in Xcode, but only if needed and you understand how to edit without damaging/malforming the file and it&#x27;s contents so that Xcode is kept happy. Select the plist in the navigator, then right-click and choose &#x27;open as &amp;gt; source code&#x27; (vs. plist), if you must.The view you see with rows, columns and the occasional drop-down, is the &#x27;normal&#x27; view that caters to typical edits.In that example, assuming you know the key you want to add*, use the + below, add a new row, then select the leftmost field and start typing the name - Xcode will attempt to auto-fill based on your lead (you don&#x27;t have to use only known keys/strings, so you are free to create custom when they apply). If you find the key you want, commit, then move to the column on the right to indicate it&#x27;s value.*note that sometimes a native key you&#x27;re looking for has been updated and goes by a different name or is new and not listed - be ready to adapt.
