I’ve recently upgraded from Xcode 3 to Xcode 4.2, and migrated an existing iOS apps to use this new version. This app is localized, and I now want to add another language.

Under Xcode 4, when I add the new localization, it creates the country specific folder in the project root. For example:

/fr.lproj

All of my prior language folders are in a Resources sub-folder, however. Such as:

/Resources/de.lproj
/Resources/en.lproj

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get Xcode 4 to move the new language folder to Resources. There is no GUI option I can find. If I move the physical folder using Finder, Xcode just changes the reference to red, but gives me no option to fix it.

Can anyone help?

UPDATE:

Here are a few screenshots demonstrating the problem (using Chinese this time):

The file listing:

The actual file in Xcode

The identity section for that file. Note that I can’t change it:

    Found the solution. It’s not pretty, but it works.

    Here’s what I did:

    1. View the contents of the .xcodeproj folder in Finder
    2. Edit the project.pbxproj file
    3. Search for .lproj within the file
    4. Change the path = section to include the Resources part of the path.
    5. Save, then restart Xcode

    This smoothed everything over, and allowed the Localization to reside in the Resources subdirectory.
