Ios – Warning: The Copy Bundle Resources build phase contains this target’s Info.plist file

buildiosiphonetargetxcode

I've separated a project into two builds and given each of them a plist file. Everything works fine, but I keep getting this build warning:

Warning: The Copy Bundle Resources build phase contains this target's
Info.plist file 'MyApp-Info.plist'

I get this when I try to build MyApp. Building for the second target gives the same error (with SecondTarget-Info.plist in the warning). I'm not sure why it's a warning, since I want the build to contain that .plist file. Each of the .plist files have one target membership (for their own build).

What does this warning mean? Is there any way to make it go away?

Excerpt:

You are getting this warning because you probably added your Info.plist file to your Copy Bundle Resources build phase as shown in Figure

enter image description here

The INFOPLIST_FILE build setting specifies the name of the Info.plist associated with your target. When building a target, Xcode reads this build setting and copies the referenced Info.plist into your application bundle. Because Xcode automatically processes the Info.plist, you should not add it to your Copy Bundle Resources build phase or make it a target member.

To resolve this warning, select your Info.plist from the Copy Bundle Resource build phase as shown in Figure 1, then click the Remove (–) button to delete it from the phase.

Xcode – Why can’t code inside unit tests find bundle resources

When the unit test harness runs your code, your unit test bundle is NOT the main bundle.

Even though you are running tests, not your application, your application bundle is still the main bundle. (Presumably, this prevents the code you are testing from searching the wrong bundle.) Thus, if you add a resource file to the unit test bundle, you won't find it if search the main bundle. If you replace the above line with:

NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]];
NSString *path = [bundle pathForResource:@"foo" ofType:@"txt"];

Then your code will search the bundle that your unit test class is in, and everything will be fine.

Xcode warning: “Multiple build commands for output file”

In the Project Navigator, select your Xcode Project file. This will show you the project settings as well as the targets in the project. Look in the "Copy Bundle Resources" Build Phase. You should find the offending files in that list twice. Delete the duplicate reference.

Xcode is complaining that you are trying to bundle the same file with your application two times.
