Hello,

The Info.plist file for Mac OS X is not a valid XML document. The file
is in the source code here:

  nextstep/templates/Info.plist.in

Running xmllint on it gives the following error:

  $ xmllint -valid -noout nextstep/templates/Info.plist.in
  nextstep/templates/Info.plist.in:20: parser error : XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       ^

Luckily, this is an easy fix:

=== modified file 'nextstep/templates/Info.plist.in'

After this change xmllint is happy:

  $ xmllint -valid -noout nextstep/templates/Info.plist.in
