how can i fix the error on iOS "From Structs to Objects"; could not read data from...MyFirstObjectivecProgramtests-info

the project file included with this episode refers to "tests" but no tests exist in the file name. How do I correct the reference?

error: could not read data from '/Users/dirkf/Dropbox/LearnProg/Treehouse/iOS/sphere class/MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests/MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests-Info.plist': The file “MyFirstObjectiveCProgramTests-Info.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.

I ended up creating a new project from scratch and then completed the episode using that project. I tried several times to use the downloaded files with no success. Not sure why, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with the new version of Xcode.

I downloaded again. Now using Xcode 5, as before trying Xcode 6 Beta. It works now.

I tried doing that and getting the same problem. It's injecting 'tests' into the filename when trying to build the project. I am running it from a normal folder - do I have to put it in a developer folder?

did you extract the files after downloading them? did you maybe move the .xcodeproj file out of the other folders so that its missing some of its files whenever you try and run? download the project file, extract them, and then open the project from the extracted location.

I didn't extract them because they either extract automatically or aren't zipped when I download them. I'm running the program directly from the download location and still get the same error.

I have this same problem. What is the fix?

This does not seem to be compatible with XCode 6, as the problems before were due to the beta.

I also have this problem, have tried opening the same project in Xcode 5 as well and still no luck. This is definitely worth looking into.
