Often when developing an app, you'll need an outside resource like an image file or a text or code file. This movie shows how to get those assets into Xcode, both as folder references and as groups.
- [Instructor] So let's say you want to…import something into your project.…Whether that be importing an image,…or importing a file,…it's the same process.…One way to do that is by clicking the plus button…in the project navigator.…From there, you can choose add files to,…and then your project name.…That'll open up this menu to navigate to your files,…and we'll default to your project.…So you can do it through there.…You can also go to file, add files to,…and then your project name.…
And of course there's a keyboard shortcut,…option command A.…So we can do that.…Navigate to the desktop.…Go to the assets folder,…and we can actually import the file by itself,…or the folder.…And I'm going to import the folder…because it adds another option.…And that's important and I want to talk about that.…So folder selected, click add,…and when I add that,…the folder is blue.…And that is different from these yellow…folders that we have already.…
I mentioned earlier,…that Xcode does not match your file system.…The blue folder icon is called a folder reference.…

11/18/2016These Xcode tutorials help new developers install Xcode and start writing and editing code. Instructor Todd Perkins shows how to build a brand-new user interface (UI) with buttons and menus in Interface Builder, Xcode's intuitive UI design tool, as well as advanced designs that adapt to screen size, aspect ratio, and orientation changes. He reviews the version control and storyboard features, as well as the basics of schemes and behaviors. Plus, learn how to compile and debug apps, test apps in the iOS Simulator, and send your app to Apple for distribution in the App Store.
