Here's the stock transcript before moving the info.plist file:

Next, I closed the project. Then, in the Finder, I moved, Info.plist from /Users/spector/Work/CocoaTests/Plist-test/Info.plist to /Users/spector/Work/CocoaTests/Plist-test/Resources/Info.plist . I re-opened the XCode project, right-clicked on the now red Info.plist reference and selected Get Info, and then used the Choose... button to locate the file in its new home in the Resources directory, then did "Build" which yields:

Building target “Plist-test” of project “Plist-test” with configuration “Debug”


Checking Dependencies

Processing /Users/spector/Work/CocoaTests/Plist-test/build/Debug/Plist- test.app/Contents/Info.plist Info.plist cd /Users/spector/Work/CocoaTests/Plist-test <com.apple.tools.info-plist-utility> /Users/spector/Work/ CocoaTests/Plist-test/Info.plist -genpkginfo /Users/spector/Work/ CocoaTests/Plist-test/build/Debug/Plist-test.app/Contents/PkgInfo - expandbuildsettings -o /Users/spector/Work/CocoaTests/Plist-test/build/ Debug/Plist-test.app/Contents/Info.plist error: The file “Info.plist” does not exist.

Clearly some element of the build script has the wrong path setting, as in the above invocation of info-plist-utility which is being passed the old path rather than the new one; but since I both moved the file and edited it's path in the file reference in XCode I am stumped... I am clearly missing something stunningly obvious. FWIW, deleting the file's reference in XCode and then dragging the file from the Finder into the XCode project's Resources group to re-create it yields the same result (the path according to "Get Info" is correct, but the build gets the wrong path...)

If it's of any help, I posted pretty complete screen shots of the two projects and their relevant settings at http://homepage.mac.com/dhmspector/

Jean-Daniel,
Thanks for the suggestion, ...I tried editing the string directly and then dragging the file from the filesystem to the text field of the dialog box (XCode puts the absolute path in for you) and still have the same problem.
Here's the simplest test case I can make:
1) Create a new cocoa application ("Plist-test") with XCode 2) Quit XCode 3) Open the directory where the new skeletal app lives, create a new folder called "Resources" 4) Drag info.plist into it 5) Re-open the project file; the info.plist entry in the logical "Resources"(*) directory will be red 6) Right click on the info.plist file and select "Get Info", then click "choose" to locate the file in its new location on the disk (the file name will turn black again since XCode now can find it)

7) click Build ; get 1 Error gcc can't find the file
Could you post the transcript. It may help us to find the problem.
PS: to find the transcript (from a previous post from this list, thank you to the original author): "In the build window between the top window and the editor window (if turned on) there should be 4 buttons on the left side. A check mark, a warning sign, one that looks like small text, and a down error. Turn on the "small text" button and it will show you the ENTIRE build transcript, this should include the actual commands that are executed."
