Files in a Project

The files in a project are the fundamental building blocks from which you create your end product. Files contain the source code that you write and serve as the inputs to the build system for creating a product. They can also hold notes, performance metrics, and the like to aid you in the development process.

This chapter discusses the files in a project, describes how Xcode references project files, and shows you how to add files, frameworks, and folders to your project. It also describes how to use source trees to set up alternative access paths for project files and how to use a cross-project reference to access the contents of another project.
