Objective C: imageNamed loading non existing image

Question

I use a loop to load images into an NSMutableArray. Each iteration loads an images using the imagedNamed function in UIImage: [UIImage imageNamed:*name*];.

However, I wanted to change some of the images. So I removed the images from the project and added the new ones. But when I run the app in the iOS-simulator, the old images appear. Even when I remove all images from the project, they still appear.

Can someone explain why this is happening, and how I can change it?

Answer 1

The problem is that XCode hasn't recognised the new resources and usually the only way to fix it is to delete the old resources from the build folder.

Cmd + Opt + Shift + K cleans all targets and the build folder. This should fix it

Answer 2

Clean your project CMD + SHIFT + K (XCODE 4.3 and above). sometimes reference of deleted items remains in the project and make sure that u reset your simulator also.

Answer 3

Did you clean your project in XCode ? Sometimes when you change some resources like images, XCode doesn't copy the new ones one the simulator / device.

To do so, go to "Product" -> "Clean"

Answer 4

delete app from simulator, clean project and make sure that image exist. Image name is case sensitive. It may see on simulator but on device image will not display
