Can Xcode include application resource files that are generated during the build process?

I have a bunch of content files for my iPhone application, which I generate with a shell script. It takes too long to become part of the Xcode build process, so I run it periodically.

I don’t want to constantly add these files to my Xcode project to include them in my application resource folder. Is there a way to get Xcode to copy the contents of the folder to the application resources during build? (It would be a bonus if I could specify other locations, such as the document folder of the relevant documents.)

I tried to add a new “copy build phase” to my target, but that didn't seem to work. This seems like a common problem, but I could not find anything here.

- Change (what I did)

Regarding Jasarien and cdespinosa, I did the following in a build script. I decided not to copy to the destination, because it will only work when using the simulator, I do not think that it will work when deploying to the device.

cp -rf "$PROJECT_DIR/mystuff" "$CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR/$CONTENTS_FOLDER_PATH/"

- Change 2

This is not like getting files on my iPhone. Any ideas?

You can configure the startup phase of the Script in the target application. Write Script to copy the resources to the application package.

This is the way I use to output:

 ${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/${UNLOCALIZED_RESOURCES_FOLDER_PATH}

Just copy your files to this directory, this is a package (simulator or device).
