Boot Camp Assistant won't open after editing plist, help?

I've done this before on El Capitan, editing plist for BCA. Afterwards I typed in the following command into terminal: sudo codesign -f -s - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app/Contents/MacOS/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant --deep

Afterwards, I got a parsing error, somehow I fixed it although I have no idea how at the moment. (Fast forward, my iMac is a clean install of Sierra with Xcode installed). Now I go through the same process and get this parsing error, which I have forgotten how to fix:

2017-06-17 23:20:18.268 codesign[1139:652209] There was an error parsing the Info.plist for the bundle at URL <0x7fb9ec407f10>: NSCocoaErrorDomain - 3840

/Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app/Contents/MacOS/Boot Camp Assistant: replacing existing signature


Help?

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.5), 21.5 inch, Mid 2011

You have a syntax error in Info.plist. Be aware that what may have worked in El Capitan, may not work in Sierra.


Try the --deep qualifier.


--deep

When signing a bundle, specifies that nested code content such as helpers, frameworks, and plug-ins, should be recursively signed in turn. Beware that all signing

options you specify will apply, in turn, to such nested content.

When verifying a bundle, specifies that any nested code content will be recursively verified as to its full content. By default, verification of nested content is lim-

ited to a shallow investigation that may not detect changes to the nested code.

When displaying a signature, specifies that a list of directly nested code should be written to the display output. This lists only code directly nested within the

subject; anything nested indirectly will require recursive application of the codesign command.
