I'm having a hard time producing an Archive for my project. I can run fine on my device and in the simulator. I have several resources that I am referencing in a folder that I added as a reference. The folder has been added to my bundle resources and before I copy bundle resources I'm executing a script to touch the folder.
However when the archive is produced, it's practically empty (2 KB) when it should be around 14-16 MB. There are no errors and the Archive validates fine. It error on trying to distribute, but beyond that I'm seeing no issues. It's like it isn't actually packaging anything up.
Thanks!
Well I figured it out. I had a file in my referenced folder named:
._app.properties
And another named:
._.DS_Store
Apparently any file in your referenced resources with a name starting with ._ or _ will cause an issue.

I have three files ImgProc.h, ImgProc.lib, and ImgProc.dll created by Matlab. I imported them to my VSC++ 2012 MFC project, but when I ran it, the error occurred. I did add the ImgProc.lib into the linker-> input->additional dependencies, Copied 3 files into project directory.
I could not add references. Because when I tried, it was empty like:
that
I really appreciate if someone could help me.
ImgProc.dll must be available at runtime in your application's directory. You need to manually copy this file to your output directories for both Debug and Release builds. Alternatively you can create a post-build step that does the copying. Having ImgProc.dll in your project directory is not enough - your project directory is not part of the Dynamic-Link Library Search Order.
I've been reading countless other posts and trying numerous fixes, but nothing has worked for my problem. I'll preface this by saying that I haven't used Xcode on this Macbook in some 2-3 months. This is the only project (out of the 4 or so I've tried) that has this problem. The first thing I did after opening Xcode was I changed the name of the project as well as a .h and .m file. I did all of this through Xcode, not Finder.
Nothing is appearing in the Navigator in red text which would indicate that it can't be found. Here is what I've already tried (many times).
Close/Open Xcode.
Clean both the project and build folder.
Delete Derived Data folder.
Ran a Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Restarted the computer.
Tried different combinations of Code Signing.
Delete App from device.
Searched through project for any duplicate file names.
Here is the warning verbatim:
Warning: Multiple build commands for output file /Users/jinser/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Landmarks-bgnzcomxftpffiezmwocaqdydrlj/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Landmarks.app/Landmarks
and here is the error:

This is Xcode 4.2 on Mac 10.6.8. Please, any advice would be appreciated. I am losing my mind.
Thanks.
So to whoever runs into this problem and all of the other solutions out there do not work for you, make sure you don't have a project folder that shares the same name as the project. For instance, my project is called Landmarks and I had a folder inside the resources also called Landmarks. Once I renamed the folder, all was well.
Not my answer, but LargeGlasses provided the real answer (for me) in a comment, I've formulated it as an answer in its own right because I can't Up Vote the comment.
any two files within your project that have the same name will cause this warning.
In my case, I had an icon with the same name in different subfolders, one was used by the App and the other was part of my help resource located in a different folder. The solution is to just rename one of the two.
All credit and my thanks for this answer to LargeGlasses.
I have tried to move the files in my project folder to a different folder and everything went ok, except that Xcode cannot find my Info.plist file now. This is the error I get.
could not read data from '/Users/jamiefraser/Developer/CocoaTouch Apps/MyApp/MyApp/MyApp/MyApp-Info.plist': The file “MyApp-Info.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.
The actual files location is
'/Users/jamiefraser/Developer/CocoaTouch Apps/MyApp/MyApp/MyApp-Info.plist'
I have checked the build settings for the project and they read
MyApp/MyApp-Info.plist
I have tried deleting the build folder and cleaning the project, but I always get this same error. I appreciate any help you can offer
Remove MyApp/ portion from build settings. plist file usually is located in the same folder ad project. You can always open project file in vi and edit it manually.
It is just a guess but it seems like one trailing /MyApp is too much in the location you are wanting to read from:
'/Users/jamiefraser/Developer/CocoaTouch Apps/MyApp/MyApp/MyApp/MyApp-Info.plist'
As opposed to the actual location:
'/Users/jamiefraser/Developer/CocoaTouch Apps/MyApp/MyApp/MyApp-Info.plist'
It would make sense to check out the URL / PATH variable you want to read from.
I had the same problem after trying to duplicate and rename a project.
In Build Settings, I had to fix two paths before I finally got it compiling successfully:
Under Packaging, Info.plist
Under Apple LLVM 5.0 - Language, Prefix.pch
My question today is about how Xcode deals with resource files in the app bundle which it creates. I know that it may be trivial, but I can't find an easy way out.
Basically my problem is that Xcode seems to keep on including a resource file (eg a text file) in the app bundle even if the file has been removed from the project.
Here it is in detail what is happening here.
⁃ Added a file to the project (both by choosing file - new file or dragging a file to the Xcode groups and files left column checking add to project folder if needed checkbox)
⁃ Compiled and launched the project in simulator
⁃ Verified that the file is present in myApp.app bundle, located in User/Library/Application/Support/iPhone Simulator/3.2/Applications/<application system number>/myApp.app and even in <my Xcode projects folder>/myApp/build/debugiPhonesimulator/myApp.app
⁃ Deleted the file from groups and files column in Xcode
⁃ Deleted the actual file with Finder in <my Xcode projects folder>/myApp/myFile
⁃ Deleted User/Library/Application/Support/iPhone Simulator/3.2/Applications/<application system number>/myApp.app and even <my Xcode projects folder>/myApp/build/debugiPhonesimulator/myApp.app
⁃ Emptied the trash
⁃ Verified that there is no reference to the file with Finder spotlight
⁃ Verified that there is no reference to the file with Xcode search
⁃ Rebuilt and relaunched the app in simulator
⁃ Verified that a brand new /Library/Application/Support/iPhone Simulator/3.2/Applications/<application system number>/myApp.app has been just created
⁃ Verified the content of /Library/Application/Support/iPhone Simulator/3.2/Applications/<application system number>/myApp.app bundle: the file is still there. Where the h. did Xcode take it from?
I am surely missing something really obvious. Any help?
Have you checked the "Targets" node ? If not then;
Expand the "Targets" node and the application one.
There must be a build phase called "Copy Bundle Resources".
Check that the resource is not in the phase.
You can also try to perform a full clean of the project to ensure that no temporary files stay.
Clean used to work in xcode 3 but it doesn't seem to do a thing in 4. I found that deleting the app from the test device seems to help make the resource disappear.
Ran into a similar problem a few days ago.
It turned out that under 3.2, the simulator creates several application folders, one for each SDK version installed. I have:
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/3.0
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/3.1.2
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/3.1.3
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/3.2
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User
If you compile under a different SDK it creates a new application directory for the app within the folder for the new SDK. I had an alias to the old folder and ended up looking in the wrong folder at a version of the app that Xcode was no longer targeting and therefore never changing. IIRC, I had to track down the new app in the matching SDK folder.
I had the same problem. However the solution proposed in the answer, didn't solve my problem.
In the Targets > Copy Bundle Resources, I don't see the "ghost" files.
I tried doing a full clean up, delete the app and reinstall it, and I still have the files in my app.
The solution I found was by manually deleting the contents of the folder: ~/Library/Application\ Support/iPhone\ Simulator/4.3/Applications/
Remove the app from the simulator and delete with finder the directory of your app in Library > Developer > Xcode > DerivedData.
I ran into a similar problem. Xcode 4 keeps complaining about missing resource file even though it has been removed from the project. It results in build error.
This is how it's resolved:
1) Open the .pbxproj file
2) Delete all the lines referencing the resource file that you want to get rid of
3) Build it
I had a similar problem with a .scnassets file - XCode Copy Resources only lists the .scnassets file (a real folder, not a group) but also remembers and copies it's contents even if they've been deleted. An intentional clean fixes this. Moreover, files deleted from a ghost .scnassets files appear to be copied every time you run the app, instead of the first time they're needed. Cleaning speed my build time up by 300%!
I'm trying to get my ad hoc build distributed but have started experiencing problems. It used to work up until around a week ago, but now ITunes gives an 0x8008017 error when I try to Sync.
I've narrowed it down by using the iPhone Configuration Utility and then discovering the error seems to be coming from a failed code sign. I've ran codesign -vvvv myApp.app and the outup lists a load of missing resources from my Help documents (from my Apps Resource folder). each missing resource begins ._ so for my index page:
01 - Index.html
the codesign is also expecting: ._01 - Index.html
It also has the existing file listed (as it should) but fails because all ._files are not included in the app.
I've looked through my projects directory and can't find any files beginning with ._ so am not sure where the codesigner is getting these filenames from, but they are included every build, after a clean or an Xcode restart.
All the resources that are causing problems are all recently updated files that I copied over the old resources at the beginning of the week; might this be something to do with it?
Any help appreciated
Make sure you do one of these:
copy those files with an Xcode Copy Files phase, which should Do The Right Thing by default, or
exclude resource forks and ._* files if you copy through a script, or
make sure you build on HFS volumes (where ._* files are not generated for resource forks).
Sounds like your partition type is generating resource-fork files which are also being signed as separate files in the bundle, rather than as part of the original files (which is bad); and then, they're also not getting copied (if you use Finder zipping, they'll be removed and set aside in a different portion of the Zip file, IIRC), again bad. Avoid having them in the bundle, so they don't get signed and you don't have to wade through this mess :)
