Hello Gareth

Hope I can help here.

Try this below:

NSDictionary dictFromFileVariable = new NSDictionary(filePath);

When you create a new NSDictionary object one of the constructors takes a
file path string which maps to "initWithContentsOfFile"

I have not had a chance to work with the NSDictionary object in this fashion
yet so if that does not work one of the experts will have to step in.

Add the Contacts.plist file to your project and once you have it added you
can change the properties of the object.  What you are looking for is the
Build Action, once you find it make sure it is set to "Content".

Another way is to right click the Contacts.plist within the project and in
the popup menu look for Build Action from there in the submenu you can find
the item labeled Content.  Just click it.

What you might want to do is clean the build, Shift+Cmd+K, and then
recompile to get a clean directory.  Probably not necessary but is something
I do out of habit from old Visual Studio days.

Hope this helps

Kenneth
