Plist Surgeon

The all-in-one tool to edit iOS configuration files from one plugin during a fastlane pipeline.

As iOS evolved with enhanced permissions, capabilities, entitlements and privacy we found ourselves needing to edit more and more files as part of a pipeline in order to keep a fully automated process for a multi-themed application. This plugin was created as we found existing extensions targetted a specific key in a specific value. We kept needing to edit a different chunk of a file and as long as it was a .plist backed file we found luck aligning to this specific package.

Now you can edit any .plist, .entitlements or .xcprivacy with a single plugin. It supports dot notation and complex array notation which serializes down to the XML format that Apple expects.
