Whenever creating a new project or importing an existing one, Xcode usually creates three files and a folder. The first two files are found in the root of the project:
ProjectNameHere-Info.plist
ProjectNameHere-Prefix.pch
And the folder which can also be found in the project root directoy, is called:
en.lproj
which has this file:
InfoPlist.strings
Does anyone know what the purpose of these files are/what they contain? Im not sure whether to add these to my SVN (I'm using SmartSVN). Likewise if I don't check-in these generated files, how will Xcode react when someone else checks-out the project? Does Xcode re-create these files?
you should include these files to source control.
'plist' is a property list file for application written with xml that include icon file name, build option, and more.
'pch' is precompiled header file has referenced from all of your project.
'en.lproj' and 'InfoPlist.strings' are for language localized files. default language have set by English.
if you remove these files, occur error on build. and Xcode can not re create these from other files.
