Answer 1

Have you included the file in the target? Right-click on your Target in Xcode, select Get Info and choose the "Targets" group along the top. Make sure your intended target(s) are checked.

Good Luck.

EDIT: The text above should have read Right-click the file (canary04.png) in Xcocde and select Get Info...

Sorry for the typo.

Answer 2

I had the same issue. try to

• clean
• build and run

it worked with me

Answer 3

I got this problem when I accidentally added another Image set to Asset Catalog file. I renamed it after I realised the mistake, but it doesn't seem to work.

Removing the file and adding it again solves the problem.

Answer 4

Maybe after you set the button's image, you changed the image's name.

Answer 5

In my case, it was because Photoshop wasn't saving my files correctly. In the file save dialog I was clicking on myfile.png in an attempt to overwrite that file, and it was saving the file with a png extension, but in photoshop format.

I had to make sure to actually change the file format to PNG before clicking on the file I wanted to overwrite, thus saving in actual png file, thus being readable by iOS. Interestingly, interface builder showed my psd-as-png files just fine.

More generically, make sure your file is, in fact, in the format you think it is and that iOS is therefore expecting.

Answer 6

Check to make sure that canary04.png exists in your project, and that it was not deleted.
