Hello,
I'm having the following problem using Xcode 13 - though I'm not sure if this is a Xcode 13 exclusive issue, since I haven't tried with previous versions.
I'm trying to add property NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint to my iOS app's Info.plist. The value of this property is a string that follows the URL format https://example.com (as explained here).
After the changes, plist looks like this:
However, build fails with the following error:
error: unable to read property list from file: /Users/(redacted)/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*(redacted)-fadhvqskytledpbdeobyopzsxmkf/Build/Intermediates.noindex/(redacted)build/Beta-iphoneos/(redacted) iOS Universal.build/Preprocessed-Info.plist: The operation couldn’t be completed. (XCBUtil.PropertyListConversionError error 2.) (in target '(redacted) iOS Universal' from project '(redacted)')
The issue is that the resulting processed plist file content looks like this:
(... beginning of file omitted ...)
<key>urlScheme</key>
<string>(redacted)urlscheme</string>
<key>NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint</key>
<string>https:
</dict>
</plist>
NSAdvertisingAttributionReportEndpoint value is skipped from the first pair of slashes it finds, the string tag not even being properly closed, producing a wrongly formatted plist file.
Is there any way to workaround this while I wait for an official fix? I'm not entirely sure how to escape inside a plist file (though I think that this should be done by Xcode upon editing the file maybe?)
Thanks!
Jota
