Fix Xcode Info.plist Duplicate Error

Problem

After running qmake to regenerate the iOS Xcode project, you may encounter this error:

Multiple commands produce '/Volumes/Personal/Droidstar/DroidStar/build_ios/Debug-iphonesimulator/DroidStarLiveActivityExtensionExtension.appex/Info.plist'

This happens because Xcode automatically adds Info.plist to the "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase, but it's already being processed as the target's INFOPLIST_FILE.

Quick Manual Fix (in Xcode)

Open the project in Xcode
Select DroidStarLiveActivityExtensionExtension target
Go to Build Phases tab
Expand Copy Bundle Resources
Find and remove Info.plist (click minus button)
Clean Build Folder (Cmd+Shift+K)
Build (Cmd+B)

Automated Fix Script

Run this script after each qmake to automatically fix the issue:

macOS/Linux Script

#!/bin/bash
# fix_xcode_info_plist.sh
# Run this after qmake to fix the Info.plist duplicate error

PROJECT="/Volumes/Personal/Droidstar/DroidStar/build_ios/DroidStar.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj"

if [ ! -f "$PROJECT" ]; then
    echo "Error: Xcode project file not found at $PROJECT"
    echo "Make sure you've run qmake first"
    exit 1
fi

# Remove Info.plist from Resources build phase for the extension
# This removes lines like: F7A593682F15EABC0075C08B /* Info.plist in Resources */
sed -i '' '/Info\.plist in Resources/d' "$PROJECT"

# Also remove the reference from the Copy Bundle Resources section
# This removes lines like: F7A593682F15EABC0075C08B /* Info.plist in Resources */,
sed -i '' '/Info\.plist in Resources.*\/\* Resources \*\//d' "$PROJECT"

echo "✅ Fixed Info.plist duplicate in Xcode project"
echo "You can now open the project in Xcode and build"

Usage

Make the script executable:

chmod +x scripts/fix_xcode_info_plist.sh

Run after qmake:

cd /Volumes/Personal/Droidstar/DroidStar
./scripts/fix_xcode_info_plist.sh

Alternative: One-liner

If you prefer a one-liner, you can add this to your build script:

# After qmake
sed -i '' '/Info\.plist in Resources/d' build_ios/DroidStar.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

Why This Happens

The extension's Info.plist is used in two ways:

✅ INFOPLIST_FILE (in Build Settings) - This is correct and needed
❌ Copy Bundle Resources - This is wrong and causes the duplicate

When qmake regenerates the project, Xcode's auto-discovery adds all extension files (including Info.plist) to "Copy Bundle Resources" automatically, causing the conflict.

Notes

The script uses sed -i '' which is macOS syntax. For Linux, use sed -i (without the empty string)
Always run this after qmake and before opening in Xcode
The fix is safe - it only removes the duplicate resource reference, not the actual Info.plist file
