kinda awkward asking this. But I cant seem to find the solution, because I dont know how/what to search in google. It goes something like this. In my project folder, whenever I click my Project.xcodeproj the latest code I have edited there was right or what I meant is when opened in XCODE it is updated.
Problem:
For example, when I try to unzip my latest project from the latest zipped project( for back-up purposes ) when I open the folder( back up ) then click for example View1Controller.m the codes in it arent updated the way they are in the XCODE though if I click the xcodeproj part. It is updated in the XCODE.
Hope someone could help me with this, and explain some good ways/solution for my prob. Thanks.
I assume that you are zipping old projects and saving them to avoid using git – I’m no git lover but for sure its a better solution.
The problem with trying to use Xcode to view old and new projects at the same time is (IMHO) is that Xcode seems to get confused about what file is in what project – if you have a new one and old one open.
open the old file in TextEdit, it should be exactly what you think it should be
in Xcode, have the current project open, look at some files. close the project, and open the older project. look at the files, they should be correct [if they are not, close and reopen Xcode between project openings, but I suspect this is not necessary]
if you really need to see the files from the old project while viewing the new ones, then in the Finder rename the file – put a “O” prefix on the file, then open that file (with the modified name) in Xcode
My experience is dated on this issue to older releases, but I do strongly recall having this kind of problem in the past.
