Xcode "Cannot parse contents of Info.plist"

I think you have used source-control tools, you can use basic text-edit tool without Xcode to open this plist, command + F to find "<<<<<" or ">>>>>", then you will probably find error string such as:

<<<<<<< .mine

>>>>>>> .r605

select the correct string, and delete the other one, error is resolve!

Looks like replacing the file with a backup, then deleting the derived data for the project in Organizer was the cure. Hope this helps someone else later on.

This is one of the best way to detect on which line the error is occurring.

Just go the directory where the plist file is present then write this command on terminal->

plutil filename.plist

Another cause of this issue can be from attempting to put URLs (really just slashes etc.) in your app-Info.plist.

Get around it by simply raising the -traditional flag inside of the Info.plist Other Preprocessor Flags option in your project build settings.
