Re: Using Resource Files

I'm new to Macs, and especially XCode, so this may seem like a stupid question. Anyway, I'm trying to use a few images in my program, but when I build the application, it can't access the files. I've tried putting them in a "Resources" group, and the files automatically get copied into a Resources folder in my build, but my application can't see them. Is there a special path I should use in my program that will access the Resources folder of my application package, or some settings I can change within XCode?

Also, is there any real documentation for XCode? I've seen some tutorials on Apple's Developer site, but nothing that goes into very much detail (compiler settings, detailed project settings, etc..)


Access to things inside your application package is possible using the CFBundle APIs.
See (for example):
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Headers/CFBundle.h


In Xcode, you can open this file using "Open Quickly" and typing "CFBundle.h".

In this case, you would want an API like CFBundleCopyResourceURL().
