Good idea, I will look into this one...

I can already create an XML version of a plist with dictionaries and arrays. But the iPhone plist is binary. So I have to copy the text I created from Revolution and then in the iPhone SDK view/convert the plist as XML -- then paste the text from REV -- then view as binary again and it is then binary plist. This works well for me in building them from the desktop but is not programatic for on-rev version.

I have a series of apps that I am building that will read the plist downloaded from on-rev that have info entered by web users.

-----------
My alternative is to download text from on-rev and then have the iphone app build the plist. But programatically that is a bit harder. Rev is much easier. Much much much easier.

You could send the plist file to a Rev cgi running on OSX and it would return the result, or perhaps an iPhone app (as it might have plutil in its operating system)

Does anyone have a way or explanation on how to create a plist file on
revOnline via script???

It turns out that Apple recommends using a pList over json or xml for
transferring data via NSUrl.

There would be a lot of things I could do if I knew how to create them.

(on the desktop I can do them and upload manually but then I would still
have to populate them online)


Tom, I have a stack that I use for editing plist files:
http://www.troz.net/rev/stacks/PlistEditor.rev

Perhaps you could start with an existing plist and use the scripts in
here to modify them.
When you say revOnline, do you mean On-Rev? revOnline doesn't allow
anything other than stack hosting does it?
As regards On-Rev, the servers are Linux machines, so the plutil
command will not be available, as it is OS X only.
