+Sets the application bundle information file for any Apple platform application.
+
+```lua
+infoplist ("path")
+```
+
+When generating Xcode action, this command will override the auto-detected Info.plist from the project file list.
+
+When used in Console application projects, the Info.plist is embedded in the application binary using Apple toolchain specific linker flags.
+
+### Parameters ###
+
+`path` is the file system path to the Apple property list file to use as Info.plist.
+
+### Applies To ###
+
+Project configurations.
+
+### Availability ###
+
+Premake 5.0 or later for Apple platform applications.
+
+### Examples ###
+
+This project defines a default Info.plist and a different one for the Debug configuration.
+
+```lua
+project "MyProject"
+
+  infoplist "Default.plist"
+
+  filter { "configurations:Debug" }
+    infoplist "DebugInfo.plist"
