Diagnosing and Fixing 'Can't find Info.plist' Error in Swift/Xcode

The 'Can't find Info.plist' error in Xcode occurs when the project cannot locate the Info.plist file, which is essential for storing app configuration settings. This error usually indicates a misconfiguration in the project or a missing file. Here’s how to diagnose and resolve this issue.

Steps to Diagnose

  1. Ensure that the Info.plist file is included in your project folder.
  2. Check the project's file structure in Xcode. Right-click on your project in the navigator and select "Show in Finder" to see how your project is structured.
  3. Verify your target's build settings. Go to your project settings, select your target, and under the "Build Settings" tab, search for "Info.plist" to ensure the correct path is specified.

Fixing the Issue

If the Info.plist file is missing or incorrectly referenced, follow these steps to fix it:

  1. If the file is missing, create a new Info.plist file by going to File > New > File, then selecting "Property List" under the Resource section.
  2. If the file exists but is not linked correctly, right-click the target in Xcode -> "Add Files to [Your Target]..." and select the correct Info.plist file from your project folder.
  3. Build your project to check if the error is resolved.
