Where are user plist files stored in iOS8?

I can’t find the .plist settings file because the Settings folder is empty. To get the library folder, I use:

println(NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.LibraryDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)[0])

Xcode 6 beta 5, iOS Simulator

The folder hierarchy has changed under iOS8.

All settings are now saved in the /Library/Preferences shared folder. Please note that this is not a Library folder in your application container, this is a shared Library folder.

For the simulator, the exact folder is:

 ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/<Unique Simulator ID>/data/Library/Preferences
