I found a lot of related questions, but none about the specifics for Capacitor.
When it comes to Capacitor, do we need to add GoogleService-Info.plist to:
ios/App OR
ios/App/App
The Firebase console says this...
You have to add it from Xcode, because if you just copy it on any of those folders, Xcode won't see it.
With Xcode open, just drag the file anywhere inside the yellow App folder, Xcode will prompt you, make sure the "Copy items if needed" is checked and the radio button is in "Create groups" and Click finish

Okay, I am a noob. It must be simple but I stuck here.
I do rigth-click and choose 'select file'.
After I choose the file the dialogue appears:
I want to keep my icons not in the root directory. But I can't figure out how to do this. I tried different ways, even create project from scratch...
Please help.
When you bring image assets into Xcode they will all be in your application bundle's root directory at run time.
It appears that you've added a file named "icon#2x.png" to your project at one time already. Go to the project's summary page in Xcode click Build Phases and then expand the section titled Copy Bundle Resources. There you'll find the reference to the resources that will be copied to your bundle at run time.
More on bundle structures here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/BundleTypes/BundleTypes.html
Anyway, the way I've done this in the past is to:
Remove the existing image duplicate from Xcode and from the folder structure in Finder.
Add a new folder in Finder call it "/AppIcons" (or whatever).
Copy all the app icons to that folder in Finder.
Drag the "/AppIcon" folder into your XCode project. I typically put images in an "/Images" subdirectory in the Xcode project. Again you can put it wherever you'd like.
In Xcode on the project summary panel, add your app icons from the folder "/AppIcons" by dragging / dropping or by right clicking and adding them as separate files.
Alternatively in the past when I've had problems with this sometimes Xcode will copy the app icons to the root project directory. If that happens, I make sure that I have the "/AppIcons" folder structure on disc (in Finder) and in my Xcode project. I add the app icons to the project, then move them to /AppIcons in Finder, and re-reference them all over again.
Your Copy Bundle Resources should then have the proper file reference. Note that my apps icons go in "/Images/AppIcons"
Good luck!
I would add the image files to your project with the name icon#2x.png. To do this right click where you want to add the files in xcode and click add file/s. Then search for your image and add them using the dialogue that pops up. - there is a check box so that you can either copy them to the projects destination folder which will copy them into you project folder or leave it unchecked (inadvisable) which would reference it's current location on your HDD. Make sure the file doesn't already exist in the project before doing this!
EDIT:
Sorry I forgot to mention then drag and drop the file from within xcode onto the image location box.
In XCode 4 (I'm using 4.6.2) you will get this confusing message if you've just moved the target's info.plist file, but not corrected the location at the top of the summary panel. Fix this and the icons will reappear, assuming they are added to the project, or if not you should now be able to drag them in without xcode insisting on making extra copies.
This tends to happen when you're starting a project and sorting out the mess of default file locations that xcode gives you. I like my project structure to be 99% the same as the file system structure.
This is an easy fix. If the image you want as your App Icon resides outside of the root of your project, when you get that dialog just click "Yes", and then click delete on the newly created file in the root, and "Move to Trash".
The reference is still there and works without a hitch, since the file will still be in the root at runtime
I created a Cordova based application in XCode, and when I tried to the www folder of my project I did not find it.
Can anyone advise me where to find the www folder that should be included in the project?
Check the tutorial provided by the online doc very carefully:
http://docs.phonegap.com/en/1.5.0/guide_getting-started_ios_index.md.html#Getting%20Started%20with%20iOS
Normally, when creating your project, you should have turned off the ARC:
In case you forgot to turn the ARC off, you may try the following:
Select your project file.
Select the Build settings tab, and select the filter options All and levels (default is Combined).
In the search field to the right of the filter option Combined, enter automatic.
There will be a group called Apple LLVM Compiler 3.0 – Language containing the line Objective-C Automatic Reference Counting.
Click that line, then in the middle column (where it says yes), click and choose no.
The above should turn your ARC off.
Then, try following the next steps of the project creation:
You should see your project in Xcode 4 now. Press the Run button in
the top left corner. Your build should succeed and launch in the
simulator
You should see a error in your simulator informing you
index.html was not found
To fix this, we need to copy the www
directory into the project. Right click on the project in the left
navigation window and click show in finder
In Finder, you should see
the www directory beside your project
Next step is IMPORTANT! Drag the www folder into Xcode 4. You can't
just drag the www folder into your app's folder. It needs to be
dragged into Xcode 4!! In my case I would drag it and drop it on
HiWorld shown below.
After you drag, you should see a prompt with a few options. Make sure
to select Create folder references for any added folders. Click Finish
Continue from step 4.HelloWorld of the online doc...
Hope this helps.
I am a newbie to iOS Development. Learnt a chapter 2 days back about using settings bundle in my apps. The tutorial also showed me how to add new plist files and images into the settings bundle by ctrl+click opening the bundle in Finder.
But the newly added items do not show up in Xcode project organizer list. Is that how it works or do we have an alternative?
[Update at 1:53PM EST by Deepu]
Thank you guys for the replies. Actually I figured out something weird. When I added objects to the settings bundle from Finder, they did not initially show up on Xcode. I closed everything and then reopened Xcode and saw them in the bundle inside Xcode. So I guess the error was on my part expecting the objects to be added in Xcode as soon as I added them to the File system via Finder.
Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the advises.
It has to be there maybe inside any folder. When I add a file I usually add first a group (right click Add group) then there is a new folder so in the folder (example images) I right click and add a file.
It should be there, if not then right click on any folder/file in your xcode, tap on Show or Reveal in Finder, then it will take you to a place where all of your project files are placed, drag and drop from there into your project. It will not automatically pull into your project if you will add them in a folder on your disk. You will have to drag and drop into your project.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Am using Mac lion for developing iPhone application, there I created database and copied into documents directory of the application, But the path to the applications documents directory not found in my lion, even the "Library" folder is not available under the lion's username.
I searched completely on my lion for the folder Library which has "Application support" following with "iPhone simulator" is not found. I checked for the moving of deletions of the folder, But it's not happened.
Anybody knows for what I can't find the folder.
Please advice me, I not available what can I do to resolve this.>
Thanks in Advance!!!
Your library folder is bydefault hidden so you will have to unhide it.
You can get information about showing hidden files here
Edit1:
You can also go to library in following way
Right click on Finder icon of your Dock
Click on "Go to Folder".
Type `/Users/yourusername/Library.
Click on Go.
Edit2:
you can permanently unhide the folder with following command
chflags nohidden /Users/yourusername/Library
From the Xcode menu on top, click preferences, select the locations tab, look at the build location option.
You have 2 options:
Place build products in derived data location
Place build products in locations specified by targets
By default, your derived data directory will be under ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AppName/Build/Documents.
Please confirm whether you got ?
You can also check my answer.
See my answer in this post.You should clear your trash folder and reset it.For more detail click below link.
No iphone simulator folder in Application support
Please look at the following solutions: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html
Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the 10.7 release. If it's necessary to access these files for Adobe-related troubleshooting, use one of the following methods to make the user library content visible.
Method 1
In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder. In the Go To Folder dialog, type ~/Library Click Go.
Method 2
Hold down the Alt (Option) key when using the Go menu. The user library folder is listed below the current user's home directory.
Note: After you open the Library folder, you can drag the Library icon from the top of that window to the Dock, Side Bar, or toolbar. That way, it's readily accessible.
Method 3
The following method makes the user library folder permanently visible.
Note: Adobe recommends that only advanced users use this method.
Launch Terminal from Mac HD > Applications > Utilities. From within Terminal type the following command and press Return:
chflags nohidden ~/Library Enter the system administrator password, if prompted, and press Return.
Note: The System administrator password is not visible as you type it.
Close Terminal for this change to take effect.
I'm running Xcode 4.1 and I've been following a tutorial about app settings. Everything has been going great up until I get ready to add a plist for a child pane that I want to add.
The video tutorial I'm watching (also using Xcode 4.1) shows the guy right-clicking the settings.bundle and choosing Add File... and then saving a file named More. In the video tutorial, he ends up with a More.plist showing up in the project and also in the settings.bundle right in the same level with the Root.plist. I just get it in the project. Nothing in the settings.bundle, and I can't figure out how to copy it there.
I've also noticed that in the tutorial, in the Project Navigator, the settings.bundle has an icon that looks kind of like an outline of a shield. In my Project Navigator, the settings.bundle looks like a white sheet of paper with a corner folded down.
Anyone know what the heck is going on?
FWIW, the root app settings works fine in the simulator. I can see the stuff I set up just fine. I can click on the link to my child pane and it switches to it, but nothing that I added in the more.plist shows up there.
Any help GREATLY appreciated!!
Argh, Apple tends to change things without letting anyone know. The whole settings bundle thing is just not well integrated into XCode if you ask me.
If you ever try to localize your application, you will find that you have to manually add the localization folders to the settings.bundle.
Looks like we have to do the same thing to add child menus now, as just adding the plist file does not put it into the settings.bundle.
Here is the set of steps I just tried that worked.
Open up finder, you can right click or two finger click Settings.bundle and choose "Show in Finder".
Right click Settings.bundle in the finder window, choose show package contents.
Copy the new plist file into this the settings.bundle next to the Root.plist
Delete the new plist from the main project.
I was not able to get the text field to show up under additional .plist page.
My Fix:
Leave only 1 Child.plist file outside Settings.bundle
Navigate to Root.plist
Right click and select 'Show Ray Keys/Values'
Right click and select 'Add Row'. Add:
Key: File
Type: String
Value: Root
In Xcode 4.3.2,
Right click the Project Name in the Project Navigator, and choose Show in Finder.
In Finder, right click the setting.bundle and choose Show Package Contents.
Copy the new .plist to setting.bundle.
Back to XCode, open the setting.bundle, wilfully add one item under the Preference Items, then expand it and modify the value of Type to Child Pane.I can't upload the image, so give the link of the blog.
This problem still exists in Xcode 4.2. Creating and moving [child].plist in Finder does help thanks to John S up there.
Some additional tips.
Make sure to turn on "Show Raw Keys/Values" by right clicking inside the opened root.plist file for the "ChildPane Type" to appear. Also make sure to select "Property List Type" as "iPhone Settings plist". If you're having trouble with ordering items, just open the plist file in a text editor and move the xml elements around accordingly.
Additional additional tip: in Xcode 4.2 to explore/expand the contents of the bundle make sure to set its type to Application Bundle (via File Inspector Menu).
Same issue, waste my almost 1 hour.
1st make sure your plist format is correct.
My solution:
Delete you bundle, and re-build & run.
Now everything is fine...
