Try XMLSpear available from Donkey Development. It claims to be an XML editor that can handle Mac OS PList files in binary format.

I you already jailbroke you phone...and have Installer on it...then install MobileFinder, and MobileTextEdit...from MobileFinder you should have access to all your files..go the file that you want to edit..edit and save.

It doesn't understand the .plist and has no any MAC's encoding inside...

Do not use MobileTextEdit to edit binary plists. It will corrupt them to just open them, since it always saves even if no changes were made.

You can use plutil.pl to convert to text, then edit. It does not handle every plist yet, but most common ones work.

Hello. I downloaded mobilefind because I need to edit a file named 'com.apple.mobile.installation.plist' so I can remove instance of apps that were on my iphone via SSH and now I am wanting to install them via ipa. It thinks the apps are still there but I deleted them.

Are you stating I should not use Mobilfind to do this? If not how can I do it on Windows OS?

Also when browsing to that folder where the file is via Mobilfind it cuts off the name of the file so I am not sure which one I am looking at. How can I tell which file I am looking at?

Thanks

Only works on your PC since it links to your local (Windows) C: drive.

Pledit.exe (probably the same as plist.rar) works great on a PC. Google it. Note: It's just an exe, not installer. So un-rar to your destination directory, click on pledit and select the file to edit. I like this one, simple and effective.

Just what I was going to suggest Also it is a big helper if you make it the default .plist editor. Then you just double click on the file

After trying many plist editors listed and trying some of the various techniques mentioned here and elsewhere, the only one to work first time and put the list in a file I could read easier was pledit. On string files I did not have to change the extension either.

I use pledit ... a lot, however I have noticed problems with larger files.

IE: Copy /System/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/File Download Plugin.webplugin/Info.plist to your computer. Size 12,552 bytes. Open it with pledit, save as "newInfo.plist". Copy back to /System/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/File Download Plugin.webplugin. newInfo.plist size is now 11,958 bytes. A "diff Info.plist newInfo.plist" confirms the contents are different.
