Knowledge
Base

Creating iOS, iPad and Mac apps can be tricky, especially when it comes to build configurations. To make matters worse, Apple's official documentation has the tendency to lack details and examples, or to be out of date. That's where the Penguin Knowledge Base comes in! We've gathered a bunch of tutorials and how-to's to walk you through some of the more confusing and less well documented plist configuration options out there. Whether you are building an app on an Apple platform or just configuring your Mac, the Knowledge Base should have an article or two to help you out.

Getting Started

Below are a few great topics to get you started:

Getting a plist as a dictionary

Getting a Swift dictionary from a plist file is relatively straightforward and can be accomplished with a one-liner.

Adding a custom font

Unhappy with the default font options available as you build your iOS app? You can add your own custom fonts by associating them via Xcode.

Adding a copyright notice

Adding a copyright notice is easy and can be done through a property in your app's Info.plist file.
