title: Xcode Buildtime Error: 'Unable to load contents of file list: '.../Info.plist' (in target 'xxxx')
body: <p>Xcode started throwing this error in a project today, and I'm having trouble figuring out what it means and how to troubleshoot it, and it's not coming up in any searches. It happens immediately after trying to build to a device (no scripts compile, etc):</p>
  
  <p><strong>error: Unable to load contents of file list: '/Users/.../Products/Debug-appletvos/myapp.app/Info.plist' (in target 'myapp')</strong></p>
  
  <p>Full log below, (note I've replaced build folder with ... for brevity)</p>

  <p>Things I've tried so far:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Restarting Xcode</li>
  <li>Restarting Computer</li>
  <li>'Product' > 'Clean Build Folder'</li>
  <li>Manually deleting everything in Build folder</li>
  <li>Re-download repository on the same computer (same issue)</li>
  <li>Re-download repository on a different computer (same issue)</li>
  <li>reverting to a previous commit that was working (same issue)</li>
  <li><code>plutil Info.plist</code> responds with <code>Info.plist: OK</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Other items of note:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Project uses Cocoapods</li>
  <li>Project utilizes custom C++ code</li>
  <li>The only file list in the <code>Info.plist</code> file is a list of 2 custom fonts, but those are showing up ok in the Xcode project browser (not red).</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>If anyone has encountered this before and has a fix, or has any other suggestions for troubleshooting I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!</p>
