If there is one drawback it is that the file structure displayed by XCode, namely of the Groups which are represented by folder like icons, is not replicated in the file system itself, so if one wants things to be grouped in the file system as well as in XCode one needs to do this by putting a suitable prefix to the filenames. I do this normally but including this additional grouping adds to the overhead.

If I understand your complaint correctly, the problem lies in using Groups (yellow icon) instead of Folder References (blue icon). When you add a folder of files to an Xcode project, there are two radio buttons that choose either Groups or Folder References: choose the latter.


For a Folder Reference, the structure shown by Xcode always reflects the structure on disk. If you add, remove, or rename a file inside the folder, Xcode will automatically see that change without you having to revise any items in the Xcode project. Sometimes you have to collapse and re-expand the enclosing item to trigger an Xcode refresh after a restructuring.

Also, search Xcode's builtin Help docs for "folder reference" (quoted).
