Use the NSUserDefaults instead. – Mervin

You can read from a plist to a dictionary with [[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:]](developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/…) and write it out using [[myDictionary writeToFile:path atomically:YES]](#3985222) – Brainless

Reading content of .plist file ..

NSString* plistPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"league" ofType:@"plist"];
contentArray = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:plistPath];

Writing to .plist file.

NSMutableDictionary * myDictionary;
NSString* plistPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"league" ofType:@"plist"];
[myDictionary writeToFile:plistPath atomically:YES];

Note that: Dictionary must contain plist objects (instances of NSData, NSDate, NSNumber, NSString, NSArray, or NSDictionary). And dictionary keys must be NSString objects

change "path" to "plistPath". – Sustentation
