Readme.md

Since NSDictionary.init?(contentsOfFile path: String) is deprecated from iOS 11, so this is a simple demo shows how to replace it with new APIs.

ConvertPlistToDictionary.swift

class func getCategories() -> (categoryDict:[String:Any], level1CateArray:[String]) {
	var categoriesDict:[String:Any] = [:]
    var level1Categories:[String] = []

    if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "Category", ofType: "plist") {
        let rawData = try! Data(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: path))
        if let categoryDict = try! PropertyListSerialization.propertyList(from: rawData, format: nil) as? [String:Any] {
            categoriesDict = categoryDict
            for k in categoryDict.keys {
                level1Categories.append(k)
            }
        }
    }
        
    return (categoriesDict, level1Categories)
}
