Check the "Preserve HFS Metadata" checkbox in your Target Settings.

Why is even an option instead of just doing it all the time?

More often than not, the HFS metadata for bundle resources is extraneous and it's only the data in the files that matter. After all, you'll generally be accessing them via NSBundle or CFBundle APIs which take a name and path extension. Your application may also be run from a filesystem that doesn't support or preserve HFS metadata.

Including metadata will also change the way you have to write PackageMaker installer packages. To make a long story short - it is a hassle.
