Here's an example of Plistbuddy using -c. Under my targets for a

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set OSBundleLibraries:com.apple.kernel
`uname -r`" Info.plist
This will modify to plist entry so that 'ANYTHING' is replaced with
the currently running kernel version for your system. I'm sure kext
developers will shudder at that technique, but I got tired of having
to hand fix it across the multiple kernel versions I test against.
Something with 'sed' or XML parsing will do the same thing, but I
wanted to try doing it 'The Apple' way using their provided tools to
see if it would be possible.
<key>OSBundleLibraries</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.kernel</key>
<string>ANYTHING</string>
</dict>
Thanks Nathan,
I was creating a test plist in Terminal with 'defaults' like so:
$ DIR=`pwd`
$ defaults write $DIR/some OSBundleLibraries -dict-add
com.apple.kernel ANYTHING
which creates a binary property list and I didn't release that
PlistBuddy can't handle binary plists. If I convert the plist to XML:
$ plutil -convert xml1 some.plist
then things work.
There is one caveat, it doesn't always update/run the script for
some reason, I'm guessing mtime of the target plist. But if you make
clean, make, it works 100% -- it might work 100% if there's enough
time between makes as well but no promises from me.
I don't have this problem anymore because I now use separate (and
dependent) targets for scripts which have determinant output for
higher level targets.
