You could write a correct info.plist file and then add it to your
app's bundle with an IDE build script. I do that for setting Help
information in my applications. It's a little more work to keep the
file updated with version changes, but it's the only way I know of
handling that short of hand-editing the file each time you build your
application.

Hmm... it used to be you could create a 'plst' #0 resource in a resource file, and drag this into your project, and it would get used instead of the auto-generated plist (even for bundled apps where the plist is a file rather than a resource). But of course that probably only works on Macs, and it's been such a long time since I tried it, I don't know whether it still works at all.

A sensible feature request would be for the IDE to check for a text file in your project called exactly "info.plist", and if found, use that instead of the auto-generated one.


I requested something like that a while ago, except what I was asking for was an IDE editor for the Info.plist file. I was thinking of an interface that would show what RB was intending to insert and then having a way to add our own tags.

This problem of the DOCTYPE bothers me though. I wonder if there are other side-effects that we don't know about yet.
