I got an error, The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. Now I am making iPhone app by swift. I added several codes to Info.plist of my app, I deleted these codes. But when I wanna open Info.plist of my app, this error happen.I do not know why because I deleted all codes which I added.And I think format is really fixed. My Info.plist is like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

You've duplicated key in the info.plist file, remove the following key in the beginning

<key>UILaunchStoryboardName</key>

and it will resolve the issue.
