Voiceover in Xcode 16 doesn't allow adding plist keys to info.plist anymore.

Hi all,

This post is from a blind user on Reddit looking for assistance. He created a ticket in the feedback app but was hoping there was another solution.

He is unable to post to these forums because VoiceOver doesn't allow him to set the tags appropriately. He asked that someone please post it here so he can get help.

Below is his post:

I’ve discovered another issue with VoiceOver in Xcode 16. We can’t add Plist keys to info.plist anymore. We can create a new row, but choosing a suggestion with VoiceOver is impossible. My current workaround is to add a random key, save the file, and then open it as source code. I can edit the file in the code editor, but I lose great autocompletion and Plist handling. This is slowing me down, and I’m very unhappy with it. I’d appreciate it if you could share this post widely. Hopefully, a solution will be found. Thanks everyone!

(I can't link his original post here as it's not allowed.)

In short, is there any trick to getting Voiceover to work with plist files in Xcode 16?
