Be aware that lots of plists are not textual but are binary
You wont be able to do anything with them using the XML reader

Don’t use an xml parser for this. Either use MacOSLib (https://github.com/macoslib/macoslib) or the Monkeybread plugins.

there is 2 ways to open a binary plist.
1: Is xcode
2: putil from command line.
here is the code i have use if anyone want.

[code] Dim tFiles as FolderItem
tFiles = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child(“source”)
sDir = tFiles

Dim dest as FolderItem
dest =SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child(“destination”)
dim u As Integer = sDir.Count

for i As Integer = 1 to u

if sDir.Item(i).NativePath = "ds_store" then

else
Dim sh as new Shell
//Putil execution
sh.Execute (“plutil -convert xml1”)+" " +sDir.Item(i).ShellPath
If sh.ErrorCode = 0 Then
sDir.Item(i).CopyFileTo(dest)

Else
     MsgBox("Error: " + Str(sh.ErrorCode))
  
end If

Next
[/code]
to convert it again as binary is

plutil -convert binary1

One correct way - use the CFPreferences classes either in MacOSLIb or MBS
