The Info.plist file, or information property list, is an XML property list containing key-value pairs of information about the bundle. System routines allow the bundle executable to read these attributes at runtime. You are free to store any application-defined data in the information property list as well. Xcode provides a user interface for editing information property lists and includes all required keys by default.
Information property list keys can be localized by adding corresponding entries to the InfoPlist.strings files contained in language directories in the Resources directory(language.lproj directories).
The most relevant information property list keys for loadable bundles are:
• CFBundleExecutable: the name of the executable, typically the same as the bundle directory without the extension
• CFBundleIdentifier: the globally unique identifier for the bundle, in reverse-DNS order, such as com.apple.navigation.News
• CFBundleName: the short display name of the bundle, used as a human-readable identifier (should be localized)
• CFBundleDisplayName: the display name of the bundle, used to represent the bundle in the Finder unless overridden by the user (should be localized)
