Details:
NSPropertyList.m
In changelist #28263, attempting to parse the plist using libxml2 was removed
and only the custom parser left behind.
The custom parser appears to have a major bug, verified in 1.19.3, 1.20, and
1.21:
When the parser encounters XML entities (eg, &, ", etc), it
correctly parses them, but also strips surrounding whitespace.
eg:
input: <string>A & B</string>
-> expect: "A & B"
-> got: "A&B"
Adding in the libxml2 code from 1.18 into later versions fixes this issue, as
expected.
