Answer 1

After I did the "remove fromfolder"/"Reset content and setting"/remove app from simulator", I still had an old image hanging around in the simulator. Then I did a "Project>clean". Then the detailViewController.xib file disappeared from the folder. It is still present in XCode, but can not be found anymore when running the app in the simulator, cousing a crash. What is the problem here?

Answer 2

I had this issue as well. Deleting the app from the simulator (In the simulator do Hardware -> Home, click + hold on app icon till icons jiggle, click the x just like you would do on a device). Running again used the correct images.

Answer 3

I had to

1) Delete the images from the folders.

2) Delete the app from the simulator.

3) Clean.

4) Stop the simulator and restart.

Only when I had done each of these could I get rid of old resources

Answer 4

I had the same thing when I was adding transparent background to an image that was already part of the project.

What worked:

1) Delete app from Simulator (long press and hit X).

2) Also I had to remove old image files from project and then reload the new transparent background images into the project.

Also hit Project > Clean multiple times.

Answer 5

I had the same. Very strange because the simulator displayed the no longer existing images and the development-phone displayed the correct images.

I had already removed them from the folder. And deleted them from the simulator. For me a Product > Clean did the trick.

Answer 6

Running sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/iPhone\ Simulator/7.*/Applications fixed the problem for me. You might have to change the 7, depending on which version you'll have in ~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator
