I'm currently trying to create version 1.1 of a project I created in XCode 4, but after archiving the files do not appear in the Project Navigator. My initial thought was that I had to clone my repository (git) and thus create a new version in which I could see the
files, but the clone is also missing the files.
I can access the files from the top bar, but that's not really a desirable solution when
working with a big project. The case is the same for another project that I have archived
so I suspect it is supposed to be a feature of XCode 4.
What am I missing here?
(I'm just combining your "nevermind, I found it" comments into an answer, to maintain the SO style, so this question doesn't pop up as needing an answer.)
Check that you're not filtering file names (left column, bottom.)
Also make sure you haven't pressed one of the "show only files with..." toggle buttons (same location, near the search entry.)
Note that these buttons are toggles
Yes. I had to hit the X button with the icon that was blue at the bottom. This corrected my issue for XCODE Version 6.1. Thanks.

I'm trying to localize my app.
I noticed that if I add a language every localized file become doubled.
In this way it's impossible to maintain code or storyboard so I learnt that I need Base internationalization.
The problem is that when I select that checkbox in xcode project setting it shows a window without nothing to select, does anyone know how to fix this?
Here's a screenshot
First, you need to go to your storyboard file, open the bar on the right side, and go to Show the File Inspector, the furthest tab to the left. Then, scroll down and click localize. After this, when you check Use Base Localization, you should see the storyboard appear.
This could happen if Base Internationalization was active before then disabled and files deleted manually.
Create Base.lproj folder in your project folder using the finder.
Move your main story board to it also using the finder.
fix the reference to it from Xcode.
remove app. from device, clean & build your project.
All will be back to normal.
The Project Navigator has this nifty filter at the bottom (icon with a clock). When you click it, it only shows the files which have been edited recently.
Problem: There seems to be no way to reset this. My project has nearly 200 source files and I use a lot of them from day to day. So this list is getting bigger and bigger, and therefore less useful over time.
Often I am just done with something and then I'd just want to get rid of these files in the recents filter.
Is there a secret way to reset the filter? Xcode4 must store this information somewhere.
Navigate into the .xcproject or .xcworkspace package using the terminal or open package in Finder. Clear the contents of the <username>.xcuserdata folder.
I had this problem today, and apparently Apple fixed the bug. Just click on the clock icon again to toggle.
For me, restarting Xcode (I'm using 7.2) reduces the number of files shown when the "recent files" filter is on. But I don't know how the files that still remain are determined.
How can I see all the files that have been modified in Xcode 4.2 like in Xcode 3.2.6 there was a separate SCM view which shows all the files that have been changed in a single place. In Xcode 4.2 I can see the modified files scattered over my project pane. I want to specifically check in some files and want to see all the modified files at a single place.
Bottom left, click on the thing that looks like a little box, next to the clock.
In the bottom left hand corner there's an icon for "show items with source control status". It will filter the file list to files that have a status (modified, added).
Seeing as the sv_SE localization doesn't take effect on the iPhone Simulator, but sv does (with the same language settings set to Swedish (language AND region), I would now like to remove the sv_SE localization to keep things proper.
What's the correct way to do this?
Do I really have to Remove All Localizations and re-do the translation work for the XIBs, as there seems no other way to do it in the Info window?
Mark localization in resources and delete? Delete folder/.lproj? Which is correct?
Xcode 3.2: expand localizable file subtree in left pane (files & groups). Then delete the unwanted localization. You probably want to click "Also move to trash" button.
Xcode 4: select the file, show utilities sidebar (the right one), pick the "show file inspector" button. There is a section with localizations. Select the unwanted one, click minus (-) button. Confirm. Or do it like in Xcode 3.2 deleting the localization from the project navigator. , it's up to you.
Xcode 5: works like Xcode 4.
If you remove all localizations (by mistake for instance) you can add the lproj folders to the project. You don't need to make one by one localizable again.
Tip: better you commit your work, experiment, if your changes doesn't work checkout the previous version and try again.
I am trying to use facebook connect and you sare supposed to be able to drag and drop folders but it doesn't work in XCode 4! any ideas?
Update 1/8/2017: This is still true in Xcode 8.2.1
Previously:
drag folder from project A to project B.
Now:
1. in project A, right click - show in finder
2. finder - go up a level
3. drag the folder into project B
4. delete unnecessary files inside the newly added folder
Good job, Apple.
PS: And it doesn't work for groups, as #zeeple mentioned in comments.
Dragging resources between projects in XCode is generally a bad idea in my opinion, even if it is supported. When you drag and drop something in XCode, it doesn't actually create a new copy of that thing, it just adds a new reference to its old location.
This can be very bad, because now changing the resource in one project will make the same changes appear in the other. The vast majority of the time this is not what you want. SCM further complicates things, because if you add a resource to Project B by dragging from Project A and then check in the changes and then some other developer checks out just Project B, they will be missing the resources that you "added" to Project B.
So instead of dragging and dropping in XCode, I suggest using the Finder or the command line to explicitly copy your resources into the destination project's source tree. Then in XCode just add the copied files to the project the same way you normally would.
