In AppDelegate File

var bundlePath:String!
    var documentPath:String!
    var plistDocumentPath:URL!
    let fileManager = FileManager()


    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool
    {
        bundlePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "Team", ofType: "plist")

        documentPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true).first

        plistDocumentPath = URL.init(string: documentPath)?.appendingPathComponent("Team.plist")
        print(plistDocumentPath.path)

        if !fileManager.fileExists(atPath: plistDocumentPath.path){

            do {
                try fileManager.copyItem(atPath: bundlePath, toPath: plistDocumentPath.path)
            } catch  {
                print("error Occured \(error.localizedDescription)")
            }

        }


        return true
    }

In ViewController

 @IBOutlet weak var TeamTable: UITableView!
    var appDelegate:AppDelegate!
    var arrayForContacts:[[String:Any]]! // array object


    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()




        appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate


    }
    override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {

        super.viewWillAppear(animated)

        if appDelegate.fileManager.fileExists(atPath: appDelegate.plistDocumentPath.path){
            arrayForContacts = []
            if let contentOfPlist = NSArray.init(contentsOfFile: appDelegate.plistDocumentPath.path ){
                arrayForContacts = contentOfPlist as! [[String:Any]]
                TeamTable.reloadData()
            }

        }
    }
