I've searched for the answer to this question but I can't seem to find it, and logically this process makes no sense to me...
I added a default.png to my app and I didn't like the fact that it didn't show long enough, so I removed it and was going to add a splash screen instead.
The problem is that the default.png still shows on load. I've completely removed it from the Xcode project and from the computer.
I've deleted the installed app from the simulator, and rebuilt the project but it still shows up. I've even exited Xcode and relaunched. Does this value get saved anywhere that I'm missing? How do I get rid of this image?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
BWC
Have you tried doing a Clean first? I've had some resources stick around before with Xcode... the clean operation deletes all the build artifacts.

When I try to run my app, it builds with no errors, but will not run.
At the top of the Xcode window it says “Attaching to golfflixlight” with a little animation underneath.
I let it run for 20 minutes and gave up, I'm stuck
This is a recurring scourge of Xcode. It is there to make our lives miserable. The solution is very elusive, and I have yet to read a single, coherent explanation what's happening.
Take a look at this SO question, it might give you some idea how to solve your conundrum. Personally, nothing works for me other than going to Edit Scheme, and setting the debugger to GDB. Good luck.
I am new in cocos2d and I am making a game by using cocos2d.
I import an png Image and use it as sprite. It works very well.
But when I replace images by another image with same name and run it on simulator.
It works very well. But when I run it on my iPhone for testing then it show old image (not replaced image). while I have deleted it already.
can anybody tell me that how will I fix it.
Change the name of the image for another one, rebuild the project: it should raise an error and clean internally all the links to the image.
Rename back the image and compile. Hopefully, the iphone will show you the new image.
Try to clean the app from xcode and then reinstall. Let me know if it is not working.
clean project before building (press Shift+Command+K)
Clean project, go to project then clean.
Make sure the old image is completely gone from inside and anywhere near your project's folder. (Basically put it in the trash and then empty it).
Restart Xcode.
Uninstall the app from your device.
Restart your device.
Clean your Xcode project like everyone else has said.
Try to run your app.
Hopefully all of these (probably excessive) steps will do something for you.
I am dealing with this really really annoying bug in X-Code where it seems to save images to some type of memory that seems impossible to clear.
I have replaced a bunch of images in which I am creating a clock animation however when I try to play the animation it showes all the old images, I have tried cleaning the app and still they continue to show even though I have deleted the images.. So then I tried changing the name of the images along with the code where they were getting called and now I'm getting a bunch more errors, So I'm just woundering if anyone knows how to get around this problem of xcode caching images.
You need to clean the build or delete it from the device/simulator. That usually takes care of it if you're sure the files are named correctly. Also make sure that you're using the correct case in your filenames, that messed me up a few times. :)
In the XCode explorer, right click on the image, use "Show in finder" and make sure they refer to the images you want.
Try using the Clean option from the Product menu in XCode.
I've got an issue with my iphone App and i'm not sure if its an xcode project issue or a code issue (I'm leaning towards xcode project issue at the moment).
If I reset the iphone simulator and build and run my app it works fine. If I then do a build and debug again the app will crash straight away with no meaningful callstack. The app will continue to crash until I remove it and start again. I didn't previously have this issue which makes me think i've just changed some project setting recently by mistake.
Has anyone had this before or can anyone think or a reason for this issue?
Are you saving/retrieving state? Without any other details, that's the first area I'd look into. Also try setting breakpoints and debug to pinpoint the problem.
paul_sns is correct, try setting breakpoint on your AppDelegate class and step-over. Probably you're retreaving a state that is incorrect. You could also activate the debugging console (run the application in debug mode) to see where it crashes (the callstack).
OK I've finally got to the bottom of it. I had quite a lot of memory overwriting going on (a sizing issue with a 2d array) and this was why it wasn't giving me any useful information when it crashed. Thanks for all the help - am glad I stumbled upon the problem before I pulled all my hair out!
I've got a mysterious problem with images and caching. In my project I've got 20 photos that elegantly fade in and out with a random function that changes up the order a bit.
I found that I didn't like one image in particular, image_1.png and wanted to push it back in the rotation (each time the app starts the images start with image_1.png). So, I swapped the name of image_1.png with that of image_16.png. When I look at image in the project folder and in Resources indeed the images are as they should be but when I run the app its the same old image that starts things out.
I have reset the sim, deleted the app from my iPhone, removed the images from the project and reimported them and still the same image.
Even odder.. I have an image_0.png that is no longer in the project file at all ... its not even on my hard drive.... but it shows up as well.
Do I have a ghost in my Mac or is this just seriously persistent cache?
Clean All Targets
Sounds like a persistent cache.
Let me guess: you have your images in a directory that you add to your project as a reference?
Yeah, that stuff's weird and buggy. Even in the latest xcode. I find it helps to recreate the folder with the new contents in a different place, then remove the old one from the project and add the new one. Perhaps even closing the project before re-adding.
XCode sucks.
