Missing file warnings showing up after upgrade to Xcode 4

I recently upgraded to Xcode 4 (which is a great upgrade) but now I'm getting some warnings that I did not get before. I have looked through forums and other SO posts but have not come across how to fix this.

The warnings I get are project level warnings for a missing file. The files that are being shown have been deleted from the project navigator view (also choosing to delete from file system). However it still seems to be showing up as somehow linked to the project, even though the file no longer appears in the Project navigator.

I have looked around and not found how I can tell Xcode that these files are gone, stop giving me warnings. Here's a screenshot that I get in Xcode4, but never got in Xcode 3.

It has something to do with .svn hidden folders in your project.

I solved this issue by detaching the project from svn.

a. Open terminal and type the following commands:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE


killall Finder

This will allow you to view the .svn folders inside your project

b. Delete every .svn folder in your project folders/subfolders

c. Re-enable hidden files:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE


killall Finder

d. Now your project is detached from svn and you no longer get build issues.

e. Re-add your project to svn or whatever.

I'm a beginner myself and this was my way of dealing with that issue, so I'm not sure this is the best way to go. Anyway, the problem was solved.
