    <p>I am attempting to bundle a set of resources into a bundle, and them access them from code via NSBundle.</p> <p>So far, I can access the resources from the bundle fine, but I cannot get the NSBundle instance to get any meta-data from the bundle's Info.plist file. </p> <p>Strangely, my first attempt worked, and correctly got the meta-data, but since then I have been unable to replicate this behaviour and the bundle always returns null for the bundleIdentifier or other items in the infoDictionary.</p> <p>I have reduced the code to the following test case:</p> <pre><code>NSString *pathToTestBundle = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"test" ofType:@"testBundle"]; NSLog(@"path to Test Bundle: %@", pathToTestBundle); NSBundle *testBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath: pathToTestBundle]; NSLog(@"testBundle: %@", testBundle); NSString *identifier = [testBundle bundleIdentifier]; NSLog(@"testBundle identifier: %@", identifier); NSURL *testResourceURL = [testBundle URLForResource:@"vanGroup" withExtension:@"png"]; NSLog(@"testBundle test resource: %@", testResourceURL); NSImage *testImage = [[NSImage alloc] initByReferencingURL:testResourceURL]; [imageView setImage:testImage]; NSLog(@"%@", [testBundle infoDictionary]); </code></pre> <p>Which gives this: (edited for line length)</p> <pre><code>path to Test Bundle: /.../BundleTester.app/Contents/Resources/test.testBundle testBundle: NSBundle &lt;/../BundleTester.app/Contents/Resources/test.testBundle&gt; (not yet loaded) testBundle identifier: (null) testBundle test resource: file://.../BundleTester.app/Contents/Resources/test.testBundle/Resources/vanGroup.png BundleTester[45083:707] { NSBundleInitialPath = "/Users/diggory/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/BundleTester-hcbsnhudsdfzlyggjbvlkdbrtxrw/Build/Products/Debug/BundleTester.app/Contents/Resources/test.testBundle"; NSBundleResolvedPath = "/Users/diggory/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/BundleTester-hcbsnhudsdfzlyggjbvlkdbrtxrw/Build/Products/Debug/BundleTester.app/Contents/Resources/test.testBundle"; } </code></pre> <p>In my Xcode project by test bundle is added as a folder reference and has the following structure:</p> <pre><code>test.testBundle Info.plist Resources vanGroup.png </code></pre> <p>The image resource is loaded correctly, but the values in the plist are ignored.</p> <p>The plist is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleIdentifier&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;com.monkeyfood.testbundle&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;badger&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Bodger&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt; </code></pre> <p>Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?<br> Many thanks.</p>

    1. COI've never used bundles. However doesn't every bundle contain a "Contents" folder in it? Why are you using bundles at all?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
