Creating a directory within a bundle during build


I have a problem that seemed quite trivial to me, but since hours I don't get the clue: I need to have a directory within my app bundle that contains pictures (tiles for a map overlay). I need to iterate through that folder and the subfolders.

But how do I create a folder within the bundle (I mean the .app file) with Xcode? Any folder structures I have in the Finder or in Xcode won't make it into the app bundle (Xcode 4.2). I know it's possible to do so, because there is an example "TileMap" from the WWDC that does it the same way.

Any help appreciated.


Solution

  • just import a folder with it's tree in Xcode, and when the import window ask you, choose: "create folder reference for any added folders" radio button...

    this way that folder will be copied as it is in your main bundle app
