What Ryan said is correct. Apple has been moving Xcode toward a more
consistent GUI, where many features are accessible by selecting an item in
the Groups & Files pane then choosing Get Info, or hitting the Info button
in the toolbar, or pressing Cmd-I. Sometimes double-clicking an item works.
And in the case of the plist files, like all other text-based files in the
project, you can simply open them in an Xcode text window or other text
editor and revise them in their raw text form.
Only the first (long) recipe in the book says much about Xcode. The rest of
the book is about code, not tools. My current readers have generally had no
difficulty translating what little discussion of Xcode there is in the book
to the current version of Xcode.
Do check the errata on the book's Web site. If you run into problems that
aren't covered in the errata (you will, because the errata is not completely
up to date), feel free to contact me off-list.
