NSAppTransportSecurity option not listed in Xcode plist editor

Question

I am trying to add the App Transport Security keys to my Info.plist as described in the following Apple tech note https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/technotes/App-Transport-Security-Technote/#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40016240-CH1-SW3 (Exclusions section)

When I edit the Info.plist file, I did the following:

1. Click on the '+' next to 'Information Property List' to create a new top level key
2. Clicked the dropdown to select "NSAppTransportSecurity'

However Xcode doesn't list the option in the drop down list (screenshot below).

Do I need to open the Info.plist file in a text editor and edit this manually?! Or am I missing some (probably obvious!) step?

I'm using Xcode 7.0.1

Thanks

Xcode 7.1 lists the option in the dropdown (App Transport Security Settings). In earlier versions you need to type the raw key NSAppTransportSecurity and set the type to dictionary.
