Parse Plist (NSString) into NSDictionary

Question

So I have a plist structured string, that get dynamically (not from the file system). How would I convert this string to a NSDictionary.

I\'ve tried converting it N

Answer 1

I've tried converting it NSData and then to a NSDictionary with NSPropertyListSerialization, but it returns "[NSCFString objectAtIndex:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x100539f40" when I attempt to access the NSDictionary, showing that my Dictionary was not successfully created.

No, it shows no such thing. What it shows is that you tried to treat a string as an array. You'd need to determine where in the plist you were trying to get an array and why there was a string where you expected an array—i.e., whether you created the plist incorrectly (putting a string into it where you meant to put an array) or are examining it incorrectly (the presence of a string is correct; your subsequent expectation of an array is wrong).
