Add a new method to your task store that also saves your data, but instead of using JSON use Property Lists. One hint that I can give you is that you have available a PList equivalent of JSONEncoder.

let tasksPListURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "PrioritizedTasks",
                        relativeTo: FileManager.documentsDirectoryURL).appendingPathExtension("plist")
private func savePListPrioritizedTasks() {
  ...
}
do {
  let tasksData = try encoder.encode(prioritizedTasks)
  
  try tasksData.write(to: tasksPListURL, options: .atomicWrite)
} catch let error {
  print(error)
}
let encoder = PropertyListEncoder()
encoder.outputFormat = .xml
savePListPrioritizedTasks()
