I am trying to submit an app to the Mac App Store.

I am one of those Livecode users who only know Livecode - no Xcode, no C++, 
just Livecode, so this is a bit daunting to say the least.

I am following this article 
"http://runrev.com/newsletter/june/issue112/newsletter4.php"; step by step. It 
was posted in a Livecode Newsletter a few months ago.

So far so good until this;

> Edit Info.plist to include information not automatically inserted by 
> LiveCode. "Info.plist" is in the "Contents" folder inside the application 
> package. Double click on "Info.plist" to open it with "Property List Editor" 
> (provided in the Apple Developer tools assuming you installed those).

It opens in Xcode, not "Property List Editor." 

> Change the view to display the raw key values. In the "View" menu select the 
> "Show Raw Keys/Values" menu item.

In the Xcode menu bar there is Editor>Show Raw Key Values, so I choose it

> Select the key "Information Property List" and press the "Add Child" button.

The Plist window doesn't look like the one in the article, but hovering over 
"Information Property List" a little + button appears, which I assume is like 
the Add Child in the picture in the article.

> A list of possible keys to add will be displayed, because it is not in the 
> list, manually type "LSApplicationCategoryType".

"LSApplicationCategory" IS in the list so I choose it.

> For the value enter the previously chosen Mac App Store Application Category 
> Type from the list of allowed category types provided by Apple. For this 
> example we are entering "public.app-category.entertainment". Save your 
> changes.

I add this value manually and save, but when I close and reopen it the changes 
age gone.

So I am confused why my editor window looks different and doesn't seem to save 
changes.

I have searched my drive for "Property List Editor" - nothing

The Developer tools folder only contains and uninstaller.

I searched Apple Downloads for "Developer Tools" 150 results, no "Property List 
Editor," nothng by Apple called "developer Tools."

I searched the App Store for Developer Tools and get an handful of results, the 
only one from Apple is Xcode, which I already have installed.

I have heard that actually submitting an App is complex and hard, but I can't 
even get far enough to try it!

Help would be very appreciated, as always!

Cheers,

Lars
