Unable to encrypt and decrypt data in plist - ios

Question

I'm trying to encrypt the saved plist data using RNCryptor and decrypt it.
the output is all gibberish in encrypted file but am not able to get the anything after decryption.
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"data.plist"]];
NSError *error1;
bac = [RNEncryptor encryptData:data withSettings:kRNCryptorAES256Settings password:#"abcdef" error:&error1];
NSString *pathToDesktop = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/Users/rajparmar/Desktop/encrypt.plist"];
[bac writeToFile:pathToDesktop atomically:YES];
Here is the code for decryption
NSError *error1;
NSData *decryptedData = [RNDecryptor decryptData:bac
withPassword:#"abcdef"
error:&error1];
NSString *pathToDesktop1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/Users/rajparmar/Desktop/decrypt.plist"];
[decryptedData writeToFile:pathToDesktop1 atomically:YES];
