I'm not sure whether I had two copies of my app way back when or wwhether Help Viewer is actually coping the help files, but if you had your help displayed in Help Viewer and then make a change, sometimes for my app I still got the old helped. It was fixed once I had done a "duplicate file" (renaming the copy to the old name) on my app and launched that. That apparently caused Help Viewer to recognize the change.

I saw this behavior in my app, too. A clean build took care of it, which is fine for me right now; I'm just testing out Help integration. Once I actually start diving into the meat of help construction, I'll take a different tack on this.

It's probably more expedient to avoid Xcode altogether until your help book is fully fleshed out and ready to install in your app bundle.

Create a working copy of your help book folder in ~/Library/Documentation/Help and do all the editing/indexing/testing there, using Help Viewer directly. Help Viewer will recognize your help book automatically if installed there (or /Library/Documentation/Help).
