iphone - Why NSMutableDictionary don't want write to file?

Question

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:pathString]) 
    {
        infoDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:pathString];
    } 
    else 
    {
        infoDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"BeginFrame",@"EndFrame", nil] forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES],[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], nil]];
        if ([infoDict writeToFile:pathString atomically:YES])
        {
            NSLog(@"Created");
        } 
        else 
        {
            NSLog(@"Is not created");
            NSLog(@"Path %@",pathString);
        }
}

This is my code. I check if file is created, if not - I create a NSMutableDictionary and I write it to file at path, but writeToFile method returns NO. Where is problem? If I create this file with NSFileManager it works, but doesn't when I want to write a dictionary.

writeToFile:atomically only works if the dictionary you call it on is a valid property list object (see docs).

For a NSDictionary to be a valid property list object, among other things, its keys must be strings, but in your example the keys are NSNumber instances.
