.xcspec predates Swift -- it's an Xcode format, not a Swift format -- but I don't remember by how much.

- jevinskie 11y agoIndeed it does! I just find it very curious that Apple hasn't bothered to migrate .xcspecs to one of the newer plist formats. As far as I know, you lose no capabilities with the newer format. Perhaps the NeXTSTEP format is easier to read with a text editor? XML format isn't terrible, and Xcode itself provides a not-bad GUI editor for all plist varieties. EDIT: I believe that Xcode will load .xcspecs in any format. The .xcspec ends up getting fed into a TSPropertyListDictionary class which is backed by a plain NSDictionary. I'll test tonight. :)
