Could not read from Info.plist

could not read data from \'/U

Answer 1

Select your project Target go to Build Phase, then select "Copy Bundle Resources", you would see red highlighted file references just remove those references, again add all those files. Now perform clean and build.

For a safety check just verify the Info.plist file path in "Build Settings"> Packaging section.

Warning : Never add Info.plist in "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase in your iOS project.

Answer 2

You can specify the Info.plist file in Xcode inside the project's settings, under your target in the "General" tab:

Answer 3

Choose new file from here manually, a new path will be added automatically

Answer 4

If you change your folder name then must need to be updated on Build Settings. Under Packaging set your Info.plist File path. And make sure that the file is in your project.

Answer 5

Don't use an absolute path here, use a path relative to your project file.

The default layout for Xcode projects is this:

CodeName.xcodeproj
CodeName/
    CodeName-Info.plist
    CodeName-Prefix.pch

Graphically, that looks like this in Finder:

In this case, you'd want Info.plist File to be CodeName/CodeName-Info.plist.

Here, I've selected the Xcode project, target, and used the search bar to limit the settings being shown:

Finally, check that your project is including the info.plist file from the right location.
