Property List (PList) Files

PList files can be either a standard XML file or it can be in a binary format. If the file is a standard XML file then there is no need for external tools to read the file, however if the file is in a binary format you can use a tool known as plistutil in order to read the information.
Objection can be used to read plist files:
1
ios plist cat {plistfile}
Copied!
It is possible to read an encrypted .plist file by running the following command from the SSH service:
1
plistutil -i Info.plist
Copied!
There can be multiple locations in which a plist file can be stored. This depends on why the plist file has been created or is being used.
The following locations are possible:
1
/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup
2
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application
3
/Applications/
4
/var/mobile/Applications/
Copied!
