Not sure what the exact issue is but when I run npx expo run:ios

it gives me the following error.

error: unable to read property list from file: /Users/jayengineer/Workspace/react_projects/Breached/ios/Breached/Info.plist: The operation couldn’t be completed. (XCBUtil.PropertyListConversionError error 2.) (in target 'Breached' from project 'Breached')

Answer 1

You have an error in your XML (missing <):

<string>1.0.4/string>

should be:

<string>1.0.4</string>

You can easily figure out what is wrong with your XML by using:

/usr/bin/plutil -lint info.plist
