Hi I have inherited an xcode project after a developer left the company. I need to add a new image to an iphone app but when i add the image i get an error: 

"error: bad index file sha1 signature fatal: index file corrupt"

I have been looking for a solution to this and found some articles about deleting the 'build' file and this will resolve the issue. But i cannot find this file in the directory or in xcodes project view. Can someone point me the in right direction?

Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Stack overflow wont allow me to answer my own question but i got to the answer in the end. The git repository was the issue but i had to view my project on our dev box in windows with the option to see hidden files, eventually i found the index file in the hidden .git foler and deleted it. fix the issue!! thanks rishi – user1238321 Jun 28 '12 at 12:24

If you want to clean the build folder press on your keyboard option + shift + command + K

Or go to Product(while pressing option key)->clean build folder
