Re: Using subversion with Xcode and Interface Builder

1) Every time I update with "svn update" something screwy happens to my .nib files. If I try to open them in IB, it complains that they are "Read Only" and that I won't be able to save them. I've looked at the permissions on the .nib folder itself and its contents, but everything has write permissions. The only thing I can see that doesn't have write permissions are the .svn directories in there - but this should effect IB, should it? Is there any way to get around this? I can convince IB that it's not read only by issuing a chmod -R +rw in my project directory, but there's got to be a better way.

This is due to a bug in Interface Builder. IB takes a look at every file in the nib, including files it shouldn't care about (e.g. files in CVS and Subversion private directories), and if just one of them is read-only, then IB freaks out and thinks the entire nib is read-only when it's not. Unfortunately, Subversion triggers this behavior by marking some of the files in its directory inside the nib as read-only.

The workaround I've used is to go into the project directory in the Finder, find the appropriate lproj directory, get info, and choose to apply the directory's permissions to everything inside the directory. Then you will be able to save nibs in IB again, but you'll have to do that again every time you want to edit a nib you just downloaded.

2) When building my app Xcode copies all of the .svn directories into the Contents/Resources. Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

Not as far as I know. However, you can correct this by using a shell script build phase that uses the "find" command to locate and delete them inside the application bundle.
