What's the Xcode "no such file or directory error"?

look up here XCode Build – CopyPNGFile Error and No Such File or Directory . I had same problem and this solution helps me.

If you receive either of these annoying errors when building your xcode app, something has corrupted in your project bundle.

1. Open your project in Xcode
2. Click on your project
3. Click on your project under Targets
4. Hit the build phases tab
5. Open “Copy Bundle Resources” near the bottom
6. Look for any resources listed in red!

I had the same problem but my solution was a bit different:

1. Open project in Xcode
2. Open project navigator
3. In the filter down below, search for your erroneous file name
4. I found the file under a group called "Recovered References" and it was marked in red
5. Delete the red files and everything should work perfectly

Okay here's the unsatisfactory workaround that fixed it for me.

(First, note that when I right-clicked my dodgy Group in the Project Navigator) it looked like any other group except that Open in External Editor was greyed - weird eh?)

1. I closed XCode and restarted it.

   => Now I see all of the icons under the offending group are red (in the Project Navigator)

2. Delete the entire group.

3. Create a new group (same name) and drag-drop the icons from the original source into the group

   => Error failed to copy (or some such - I can't remember but I have seen and fixed this before - and seen it elsewhere on SO)

   This error is due to leftover icons, so to fix this one now,

4. I deleted all other groups with icons and moved their icons to trash

5. open finder at the project location
6. delete every icon in the project (sort by kind, delete all the .png)

7. make a new group again, and drag all the icons in _again.

8. whew, now hit Builder

   => XCode crashes.

   Lovely.

9. Restart Xcode

10. fingers crossed: Build

=> it works. Brief celebration and back to work.

(See what I mean about unsatisfactory)
