title: Creating a plist file programmatically
body: <p>this question is regarding xcode objective c and iphone development:</p>
  
  <p>So I want to store an array in a new plist file and I know how to retrieve the file path and write the data into the file (at least I think I do) and all that jazz once the plist is created, but how do I actually create the plist file the first time the app is run or the first time I go to enter data into it? I want it to live in the documents folder of my app.</p>
  
  <p>I'm assuming this is pretty simple I just can't seem to find documentation on it.</p>

  <p>I ended up using NSKeyedValue there was a great tutorial here:</p>

  <p>I know technically this is not the answer to the question but it did solve my problem.</p>
