Info.plist and Base localization: Project not compiling

Question

After enabling Base locaization on the Info.plist, Xcode bailed on me .

Since then, it refuses to compile the project, stating

could not read data from '/Users/[redacted]/git/[redacted]/[redacted]/Info.plist': The file “Info.plist” couldn't be opened because there is no such file.

Which does not surprise me, given that it now is in /Users/[redacted]/git/[redacted]/[redacted]/Base.lproj/Info.plist .

Moving the file back in the Filesystem yields

/Users/[redacted]/git/[redacted]/[redacted]/Base.lproj/Info.plist:0: error: reading data: The file “Info.plist” couldn't be opened because there is no such file.

which rather surprises me.

How can one fix this?

Answer 1

Alright.

It seems the localization process can be reversed by removing Info.plist from the project while in the project directory. Xcode didn't ask what to do with the original file because it couldn't find it.

Re-adding the file to the project by drag and drop (not copying obviously, because it is already there) made it compile.
