Make sure you test that thoroughly. I remember that older Mac OS X releases 
didn't have a separate boolean class, so depending on who writes that file on 
what OS, you may just get an NSNumber (even if you call NSNumber 
numberWithBool:). I'm not sure you can rely on actually getting a boolean 
object even on 10.10. I haven't tested on 10.10, but I think it still failed 
for me in some cases for 10.9.
