Hey Igor Alves,

There was no purpose other than learning about plists. In this course you retrieved your data from the web, so you're right, the plist was unnecessary in this situation. However, it is a good topic to learn about. Mainly that the plist is a dictionary of key value pairs and how to access it using NSBundle.

Good Luck
