30,548 PointsBuild failed for the project download files in xcode 6.1... "could not read data... "
Source code won't run:
could not read data from '/Users/myloc/Documents/WebDev/Lessons:Source Code/sphere_class/MyFirstObjectiveCProgram/MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests/MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests-Info.plist': The file “MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests-Info.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.
I tried looking on forums for people with same problem, and found quiete a few, however they said their issue was resolved when the TTH teachers updated the download to work for xcode 6.1?
Not sure what to do

7,468 PointsI had the same problem, I tried to fix the file path as following: Navigated to the project (select it in the Project navigator), select the application target in the list of targets, then click the Build Settings tab. Under the Packaging section, made sure the "Info.plist File" is properly set to the location/file name. But it didn't work.
I then downloaded the project templates, I placed a copy of the folder 'MyFirstObjectiveCProgram' on the Desktop. I created the sphere file in the project navigator, then pasted the same code to main.m Sphere.h Sphere.m
It worked but I have no clue about how and why.. hope this works with you as well

7,468 PointsMake sure your project folder name has NO spaces and try building again

1,379 PointsConfirmed no spaces in any folder.
The error msg is as below. But I do see the MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests-Info.plist in the folder.
(null): could not read data from '/Users/.../.../Work/Coding/TreeHouse/Development/12_sphere_class/MyFirstObjectiveCProgram/MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests/MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests-Info.plist': The file “MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests-Info.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.
Thanks for your help though.

1,379 PointsI tried. Still doesn't works.
BTW, the lecturer in the video does use underscore in the file name.
Rami Ammoun
7,468 Pointshmmmmm sorry for that, try using the project templates in the lecture or moving your current project folder to desktop. I wish i was more helpful

And from a time-efficiency standpoint, when you download and open up the templates, run the program with the NSLog "hello world" to make sure your build succeeds before proceeding any further.
This is assuming you have Xcode 6+. I was getting the same error as OP mentioned.
Riley Strong
1,332 PointsThe problem is not that a file is in the wrong place, but that there are 2 targets for the Xcode project: the app and tests. You need to delete the test target. Stack overflow has good instructions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26324163/xcode-how-to-delete-target-in-xcode-6-1
