I'm testing my user interface in light and dark mode settings and I have the "NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance" set in my info.plist file and I was wondering if there is a way to override that setting at runtime, rather than having to constantly go to my info.plist and setting it manually between runs?

I'm searching for something like

NSApp.effectiveAppearance.setValue(true, forKey: "NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance")

You cannot do that. info.plist is part of bundle and cannot be changed at runtime.

See details here for instance:

But why change the info.plist and not directly the appearance ?
