Watch my movie on this topic:
http://www.apeth.com/writersua/implementAppleHelp.mov
Your question is answered at 5:38 of the movie, but you might find the rest
useful as well.
Your question also implies a lack of understanding of the differences
between:
(1) The folder in the Finder containing your Xcode project. You should
almost *never* look directly in this folder. :)
(2) The group structure of your project as described in Xcode.
(3) The physical layout of your built application bundle.
Those are three very different things, hence your confusion, since you are
talking the Contents and Resources folder in (3) but showing us a picture of
(1). m.
