"Localizable.strings" couldn't be opened because there is no such file

[Joe Sharples]

I released a version (1.5) of my app which is now on the app store - 5th oct.
I made changes to the app under a new version(1.6) therefore if i had any problems I could resort back (1.5).

I came across this error on xcodes after exporting version (1.6). I'm not sure what caused it. I saved this version. then restored back to my original (1.5). I exported without making any changes to this version (1.5).

I received the same error!

also
when i released the version 1.5 in october I exported a backup .zip, an xcode project
and an .ipa
I saved these saved to my laptop in october and havent changed them.
when i run this xcode project it's successful and the app works as expected.

version 1.5 that is saved on appery should be exactly the same as version 1.5 saved on my laptop.
But when i restored back to 1.5 from 1.6 and exported it, I made NO changes, but I get this error.

What is causing this? how do I fix it? and why is it occurring on a version that previously worked when i didnt change anything on it?

Xcode Version 7.1.1

Hello Joe,

Could you please clarify do you have any errors when you export your project to an .ipa file or to a .zip file from Apppery.io now, not from xCode?

[Joe Sharples]

exporting as from appery .ipa:

i can back up a .zip file with no error

Could you clarify have you changed anything on the Source tab?

If you did, these custom changes might cause the build to fail. Try to rollback the custom source changes and try to build the app again. Here is how to rollback custom source change: http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/....

When you make changes in the Source view for a particular page, the visual editor for that page will not be updated (until you rollback the changes). You can learn more here: http://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials/...

Please provide us with a public app link (https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...) and exact steps to reproduce this problem.

Yes, I made changes in the source tab for version 1.5 prior to launching.

I then made version 1.6 and made changes to the app without rolling back the custom source changes. - I can understand why there may be problems with this version.
Am I correct in thinking that the changes made in version 1.6 wont work because I made changes without rolling back the source code first?

I've just tried rolling back the source tab changes on both version 1.5 and version 1.6.
I still received the same error after rolling back and exporting.

I can give you my public link, but the error doesnt occur when testing on browser, only when i export to xcode. - Also the app is pretty useless in browser - for example I use touch events which don't register in browser and I also use code like code var myAlert = navigator.notification.alert; /code
This makes testing in the browser not work.

I understand that I may lose work that was done for version 1.6
I am happy to restore to version 1.5 to fix this problem.
It may be quicker create a new app and restore form the version 1.5 back up.
what do you suggest?

[Serhii Kulibaba]

Joe, please clarify, did you try to restore the previous version?

[Joe Sharples]

yes, I have restored to the previous version. (1.5)

I then restored back to 1.6.
then restored back to 1.5.

undoing all source changes is not working.
Even after deleting all edited source files (blue), then undoing all source changes, the files come back still blue without rolling back.

I am very sorry for the radio silence here. You have to delete all files from the WEB_RESOURCES, IOS and ANDROID folders.

Please share (http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...) your app with a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a and provide us with the following information:
