What is DPLT file?

The file with the extension DPLT is the Developer Files file type. It was designed by Apple, Inc.. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files.

This is a program created by Apple, Inc..

How to open DPLT file?

The main problem with AppleScript Droplet is that the DPLT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DPLT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPLT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Apple Xcode

The first step is to check if the computer has the Apple Xcode program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apple Xcode in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DPLT with Apple Xcode. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DPLT files.

Programs to open DPLT file

Remember to download programs supporting DPLT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Apple Xcode with DPLT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DPLT file still does not use the Apple Xcode program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apple Xcode application as the default for handling the DPLT file.

Step 3. Update Apple Xcode to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Apple Xcode program with the AppleScript Droplet file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DPLT file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The DPLT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DPLT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DPLT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DPLT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DPLT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DPLT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DPLT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DPLT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DPLT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
