SAXParser error on SpriteFramCache

[xCruss]

I tried following the tutorial in Using sprite sheet animations in Axmol Engine but I'm getting an error when I'm adding the sprites to the SpriteFrame Cache

SpriteFrameCache::getInstance()->addSpriteFramesWithFile("cityscene.plist");
axmol: SAXParser: Error parsing xml: expected < at bplist00\322���

I have the same issue when I'm using other spritesheet not from the tutorial.

You need to provide one of the plist files that is triggering the issue, otherwise there is no way to tell what is going on. Even better would be providing a minimal project that reproduces the issue.

Also, have you tested plist files (along with associated image files) from the cpp-tests project in your app to see if the same issue occurs? If the test plist files work, then you can compare the contents of the them with the non-working files.

cityscene.zip
Here are the files generated from texture packer that I added to the project.

Thanks. But I'm still having the issue. I don't know why. I created a new project and just tried to load the spriteframes and didn't even use any image but the error is still there.

I just added this on the MainScene::init()

SpriteFrameCache::getInstance()->addSpriteFramesWithFile("cityscene.plist");

Thanks. But I'm still having the issue. I don't know why. I created a new project and just tried to load the spriteframes and didn't even use any image but the error is still there.

I just added this on the MainScene::init()

the error output indicate it's binary file

[xCruss]

But I'm using the same file I attached here which @rh101 were able to load. That's why I'm confused why it is not working on my end cause I can open the file as text and see that it is in the xml format. But when I try it in code I always get that error that says it is in binary.

[xCruss]

Ohhhhh. It was Xcode. There was a Property List Output Encoding in the Build Settings and it was set to binary by default. Thanks @halx99 and @rh101

But it is not in binary plist file. It was generated from texturepacker and this is the content when opened as text:
