I'm creating a simple application with xcode and objc and I need to load an NSDictionary from a file, but I can't get the path to the file using NSBundle:
NSString *l = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"LoginStatuses" ofType:@"plist"];
NSLog(@"%@", l);
When I run this code I get this:
2010-10-16 10:42:42.42 Sample[5226:a0f] (null)
And I don't know why.
I created a group called Resources and there I added the LogingStatuses.plist:
In my case (executing XCTestCase) for some reason resources were stored in non-main Bundle. I fixed the problem by checking first which bundle test class belongs to:
[[NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]] pathForResource:@"Config" ofType:@"plist"];
Hopefully this can help someone else as well.
There is a way to do this for a Command-Line app.
Instead of using "Copy Bundle Resources" use "Copy Files". For "Destination" select "Resources". This will copy the file to the app bundle and the Bundle.main can find it.
