Adding resource files to xcode

Question

I'm trying to add some new resource files to a project which was build by another person on another mac. I think that the project has the provision of the previews person.

Using right click->Add Files to "MyProject" doesn't provide the expected result. After I compile the project, the added file is not visible in the application.

How can I add new resources in my project?

PS: I'm trying to learn Objective-C in a macincloud.com account.

Answer 1

It might be that the file you added was not added to the project build. Click your project > App target > Build Phases And check that the file exists in Compile sources (if it needs to be compiled), otherwise check Copy bundle resources. If the file does not exist there, drag it there and it should be fine, (from what I understand of your question).

EDIT

You can also check wether a file is added to the target by clicking the file and opening the "File Inspector" (View > Utilities > Show File Inspector, or ⌥ + ⌘ + 1), and check the Target Membership section.

Answer 2

Just drag the resource file (from a finder window) into your project files area (left side) and drop in supporting files.

Once you drop, a dialog will prompt you which targets to add it for. Select all that are appropriate. Thats it.

Answer 3

Adding to Copy bundle resources worked for me
