I am trying to learn Xcode. In the process of going through a tutorial for a Sprite app, I was instructed to move some files into the "Supporting Files" folder of the project. Unfortunately, there is no such folder in my project, or any other project that I have created. The Supporting Files folder is shown in screenshots of sample projects in the Xcode Overview on the help menu, so it does apparantly exist.

The question is, how do I make it visible in my project?

My Xcode verion is 7.0.1. (7A1001)

Any help anyone can give me in shedding light on this problem would be greatly appreciated. I am a complete and humble newbie in the Xcode world.

If you see folders on the left in the 'Resources' section of an Xcode project, you may notice that some are blue and some are yellow.

Blue indicates a traditional Finder folder. Yellow indicates a virtual 'group' that serves as a visual organizational convenience for the dev...there is no folder you can locate via Finder.

In the absence of a group named Supporting Files, create one using Xcode's menu File/New/Group and name it. You can move files around inside the Resources window to locate them under that group (which you can move as well if needed), but again, you won't find them in a specific folder in the Finder (other than in the main project folder).

Thank you for your reply, as it is confusing, as all the books/guides express there should be such folder.
