Hi

Trying to add Help to my app.
I've added a folder (My Help Book)which contains the help (index.html) file to Resources & made the appropriate changes to Info.plist


Doesn't work - stiil no help available.

Looking into the app itself, the contents->Resources does NOT contain the folder My Help Book, just the index.html file !!

If I manually create the My Help Book folder in Contents->Resources and put the index.html file inside it then help works.

So, how do I get XCode to do this for me ?

Barry,

In Xcode's "Groups & Files" pane, select the folder "My Help Book" and delete it. Just do "Delete References" rather than "Delete References & Files". Then bring up the contextual menu for the folder "Resources", choose "Add", "Existing Files..." and select the folder "My Help Book" inside your project folder; it should already be there. Make sure to select the option "Create Folder References for any added folders" rather than "Recursively create groups for any added folders".

After you've added "My Help Book" to the project, the folder should be blue in Xcode rather than yellow. You probably selected "Recursively create groups for any added folders" when you first added it. This will create yellow Xcode groups in the "Groups & Files" pane, but an Xcode group is not a real folder, so only the containing files will be copied to your app on building. If you have a blue folder reference, on the other than, then that will be referring to a real folder, which will get copied to the app on build.
