This recipe will process the Info.plist file present in every iOS backup and
extract device-specific information such as the device name, IMEI, serial
number, product make, model, and iOS version, and the last backup date.
Property lists, or PLISTs, come in two different formats: XML or binary.
Typically, when dealing with binary PLISTs, one will need to use the plutil
utility on a macOS platform to convert it to a readable XML format.
However, we will introduce a Python library that handles both types readily
and easily. Once we extract the relevant data elements from the Info.plist
file, we will print this data to the console.(Miller, P and Bryce Chapin, 2017)
