You can configure your iOS app in MonacaApp-Info.plist file. For information on plist file, please refer to . This file is located under ios folder inside your Monaca project as shown below:

For Cordova 6.2 or higher, MonacaApp-Info.plist file is removed from Monaca framework. Therefore, in order to config iOS application settings, use .

<?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">

<plist>
  <dict>
    <key>key</key>
    <value-type>value</value-type>
      ...
    <key>key</key>
    <array>
      <value-type>value</value-type>
      <value-type>value</value-type>
    </array>
    ...
  </dict>
</plist>

Inside MonacaApp-Info.plist file, there are 3 main types of elements:

  • <key>: Defines value (plistObject) and a combination of application configuration information.

  • <array>: You can have the array of values (plistObject).

  • <dict>: Key and combination of value (plistObject) are defined here.

For example:

<plist>
  <dict>
    ...
    <key>XXX</key>
      <string>The value(plistObject) corresponding to key(XXX)</sting>
      ...
    <key>YYY</key>
      <array>
        <string>The 1st value(plistObject) corresponding to key(YYY)</string>
        <string>The 2nd value(plistObject) corresponding to key(YYY)</string>
        <string>The 3rd value(plistObject) corresponding to key(YYY)</string>
        <string>The 4th value(plistObject) corresponding to key(YYY)</string>
      </array>
