Re: [2.4] Dependency checker confused about a plist resource

I get a warning in my builds which corresponds to these lines in my transcript:

I'd like to get rid of the warning, as it frightens and confuses me.

You see that Xcode complains it doesn't know what to do with the plist, but then (correctly) copies it into my application's Resources directory.

I suspect that you have QueryTransTypes.plist set as a member of a target — and thus automatically a member of a Copy Bundle Resources build phase — as well as have it specified in an "Info.plist File" build setting for that target's configurations.  Is this the case?

It's also possible that the plist got into a Compile Sources build phase rather than a Copy Bundle Resources build phase (say due to an accident while dragging).

By Jove, the latter was the case. The plist file was in both a Copy Bundle Resources phase and the Compile Sources phase. I don't remember putting the file in that phase, but if I remembered it, I wouldn't have done it in the first place, now would I?
