如何将文本文件捆绑到 xcode 应用程序中以便在运行时读取？

Question

I have added a few .js files to an xcode project:

I am trying to load those .js files at runtime but they apparently are not available. This was seen by looking at the physical disk location of the simulator sandbox that we can find at: Bundle.main.bundlePath whose value is:

/Users/steve/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/CC7AE0CD-4EEE-412F-8E01-E5F55F73887E/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/ECB90596-FF9F-4E40-B500-0D55DDFC0E2E/hybrid.app

Under that directory there are a few gyb files, the Info.plist , some code signature files, the storyboard .. and one .js file. That one file was added to the project earlier and I am not certain using what mechanism.

I'd be happy to see all of the .js files there - but maybe that's too much to ask? Is there a different way to get those other .js files - like reading from some Resources bundle?

Answer 1

Just drag any file into the Project navigator (project files structure browser) pane on the left. This file will be accessible via

let jsonFilePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "fileName", ofType: "js")

Answer 2

This is an exercise in more deeply understanding xcode project structures and Build phases . Go to the Project Properties then select the Build Phases tab. Select the Copy Bundle Resources and add the files - javascript in my case - in that section:

The files now do show up in the root directory of the simulator output sandbox directory.
