I have a Folder Reference to this folder in the project, and I expected that any time the contents of the folder changed, the build phase would be run, but this isn't the case.
I can't figure out a way to get this phase to run without doing a clean build of my app (which takes forever to complete). Is it possible to force this build phase to run, or have it run without doing a full Clean first?
Currently we don't store a deep timestamp tree of everything in a folder reference in the dependency tree, so an arbitrary change in a folder reference won't, as you discovered, cause a rebuild. If you're going to be making a lot of changes to files not explicitly included in the project and want them to be copied into the executable, you might copy them with a Shell Script Build Phase that runs unilaterally, instead of a Copy Bundle Resources phase that only runs when a known member is changed.
Or you could add a "dummy" project member to that Copy Bundle Resources build phase and touch that dummy file to trigger copying of the folder reference.
