when I load my application it shows a warning message that
"Could not load the "" image referenced from a nib in the bundle with
identifier "
I searched and confirmed all my images. But it still shows that warning.
Select your image(s) in Project Navigator.
Open the File Inspector.
Make sure you have the target selected.
I had the same issue when I Refactor to Storyboard. Apparently the Asset catalog does not transfer the image reference. To fix, see below:
You would notice that your ImageViews is empty from reference.
1 - Click on the ImageView
2 Go to the Utilities bar where you would see you asset image is unknown
3 - Change it back to you image asset
This should fix your error. Hope this helps!
There might be many reasons of this error. To fix this issue you can just follow below given step:
Go to product menu of the Xcode, select clean.
If still you are getting the error, then remove the images from your project and again add the images to your project.
while adding image into the project, make sure that you have selected the Project name inside the "Add to targets". And also enable the "Copy items if needed".
Please Refer below image for better understanding:
Just select the image in Xcode and in right side, File inspector, under 'Target Membership' make sure your project is selected.
Another thing you can do is delete and re insert your image and make sure 'Copy items if needed' is selected and 'Add to targets' your project is selected.
Click on the image file in your Xcode navigator.
Once selected, go to the right side bar (of XCODE) which is
utilities and under file inspector, scroll to target membership and
select your project target file.
Then build and run the project again.

For those that are getting this error while developing a cocoapod
I was trying to use an image from my pod's bundle, thats inside a .xcassets file, in the storyboard. It would show fine in the storyboard but when i ran the app it would crash saying it cant find the resource.
I changed my podspec to include s.resources as well as s.resource_bundles
s.resource_bundles = {
'SDKRes' => ['SDK/Assets/*']
}
s.resources = ['SDK/Assets/*.{xcassets}']
Then it was able to load the resource properly from the storyboard
You can try opening your storyboard or nib as Source Code and then "Find" the image name in it, see if it exists but already invalid in your project, probably you have deleted or changed its name, and now it doesn't seem valid.
I have just updated to XCode 9 and it started giving me this issue. I created a new Image Set in the Assets section and added the images I wanted to this, then re-added them to my tab bar images with custom names and it worked fine. Hope this helps!
PROBLEM
This happened to me seemingly out of the blue on a tab bar controller with icons for each tab. The storyboard was still showing my image icons and the assets existed with the expected names.
MY FIX
Select the tab bar icons in their respective view controller and reassign the image like you did the first time.
This happened to me as well. I was doing everything right when adding the image but for some reason it was not working. I had to click on the image again once added, and then on the right toolbar under "Target Membership" I noticed my project was not selected even though I was selecting it when adding the image. I selected it here and everything worked fine.
I got the same error message (in XCode 8), even though the app ran fine (in the simulator and on the device).
I found the problem: In my storyboard, using the document outline pane, I clicked through every single UIImage, and looking at the attributes inspector for each UIImage - in the Image View section - found that one UIImage had a blank file name (instead of the .png file name containing the image). Reselecting the .png file name from the dropdown box fixed the error message.
I have fetching same issue in xcode 9.
just tick on target membership
I pulled my hair out over this issue for hours and none of the solutions in this thread worked. The problem, in the end, was that the Xcode project files were stored on a Google Drive file stream. As soon as I moved it to the local drive or iCloud it worked fine.
My case was a bit different. I was using an old IBDesignable element which had some property of setting an image directly from the storyboard. Since that element was old, hidden and unused the images it had were not present in my assets folder.
Now Xcode won't be able to search this image since it is not in the project anymore. But if you search in the finder, inside your project, you'll find the XIB/Storyboard in which it is mentioned. From there you can find it manually by opening that XIB or Storyboard as source code and search. Once found either replace them with a new image or remove the unused element.
Look into storyboard file you'll see a question mark icon on any of the imageView (as shown in screenshot below) or UIButton image.
Just correct it and the warning will be gone.
Hope this helps
My guess is that you have an image in the Project Setting->Build Phases->Copy Bundle Resources which loses its reference and appears in Red text color. Remove this image from there and re-add.
This happens often due to relocate the image file after adding into project where image was added as a reference instead of a copy.
May be this can fix your issue.
Urughhh. I tried to fix this with all the above solutions, but nothing worked. What finally worked was:
Delete image from your project and select Move to Trash
Clean project
Close and restart XCode
Rename your image filename so something other than the previous name
Add new image to your project
I was facing the same problem, I solve it by deleting folder and create again and past all images then add reference again.
Based on what #hstdt posted above, it made me think I should check that my image is a filetype that doesn't have any bugs related to it. (https://stackoverflow.com/a/44558948/6804257)
I was using a .gif. I got rid of that image and instead used a .png. Now it works.
Had the same issue and none of these answers worked for me. Instead I restarted the mac and iPhone I was working with and then everything started to work fine again. 🤷♂️
My case is difference. I have more one assets folder. So I added to the wrong one.
Just remove and add to the right.
In my case,removing and adding the assets folder from the target fixed the issue.
Xib sets a wrong name for folder reference images. For example I have the folder like Menu->icon.png. Xib sets the "icon" name for the image. It should be "Menu/icon". So do no set images in xibs if you use a folder reference images.
I haven't done anything. I just copied into another folder. When I run this code everything is working fine but don't know why some Swift class files are in red colour. Can someone please suggest me a solution?
Just drag this files again in XCode or add reference of those files by clicking on + button on bottom left corner of XCode and then click on 'Add files'.
Import these red colored classes from another folder or backup folder to your current project.
To sort this issue permanently open your project folder and move these classes to main project folder.
I solved this red colour issue by re-adding those class files and i deleted these red colour classes. I Think it's because of the path issue.Solved by readding.

So I downloaded a open source Xcode project and now I am modifying it a lot and want it to be in my name but in Xcode I see these two names how do I change these 2 names?
Here is an image to show clear view what I mean:

On the Xcode, where is the your app hierarchy, make a long double click just like you rename a folder, and rename!
Hope this helps!
I had images starting with capital letters, I needed to change first letter of images manually on bundle , after doing that device can not show SOME of the images are not displayed while some of the images are displayed.
Such as:
C_120x120#2x.png
to
c_120x120#2x.png
I get an array of letters
legend (
g
)
and display them with
if ([testArray count]==1) {
NSString *legendName=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_120x120#2x.png",[testArray objectAtIndex:0]];
UIImage *trackImage = [UIImage imageNamed:legendName];
cell.imageView.image= trackImage;
}
NSLOG:
track image string g_120x120#2x.png
track image (null)
In Bundle:
In finder project folder:
What I tried:
1) checked the case like above it looks like file names are correct;
2) deleted the images, changed the names before I add them to project.
3) delete the app on device , reinstalled it.
4) changed setting "Compress PNG Files" to NO
after doing everything above if I call C_120x120#2x.png in image it is displayed while c_120x120#2x.png is not displayed.
How can I solve this?
Try cleaning your project - Shift + Apple + K.
Try removing #2x and the file extension .png:
NSString *legendName=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#_120x120",[testArray objectAtIndex:0]];
It'll detect whether to use the #2x based on the device being used.
Also be sure that they're added to your bundle. Click on the image, and in the inspector look under 'Target Membership'. Make sure the appropriate target is checked. (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/10998746/1710611 for screenshot)
Make sure that the images are located in your "Copy Bundle Resources" section, it can be found in your project settings, select your target, and then it's under "Build Phases"
One of those PNGs was JPG and you just change the .jpg extension to .png
Good Luck
