What happened?

When using buildableFolders on a target, paths set via SettingsDictionary helpers .codeSignEntitlements() and .infoPlist() (which map to CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS and INFOPLIST_FILE build settings) cause Tuist to create flat PBXFileReference entries that appear at the project root group in Xcode navigator — even when those files live inside the buildableFolders directory.

Expected behavior: Files referenced via build settings should use anchored references (the same fix applied to the top-level infoPlist: target parameter in PR #11202 / v4.199.0) so they appear nested inside their target’s synchronized folder, not as flat items at the project root.

How do we reproduce it?

  1. Create a target using buildableFolders with a Supporting Files/ subfolder containing entitlements and Info plist files
  2. Reference those files via SettingsDictionary helpers in per-configuration settings: .settings(configurations: [ .debug(settings: SettingsDictionary() .codeSignEntitlements(“MyTarget/Supporting Files/Entitlements.plist”) .infoPlist(“MyTarget/Supporting Files/Info-Debug.plist”) ) ])
  3. Run tuist generate
  4. Open the generated .xcodeproj — Entitlements.plist and Info-Debug.plist appear as flat items in the project root group instead of nested inside MyTarget

Workaround: Use buildableFolders: [“MyTarget/Sources”] (subfolder) + additionalFiles instead of .folder(“MyTarget”, exceptions: …) — but this makes the target root appear as a yellow group instead of a blue synchronized folder.

Related: PR #11202 fixed this for the top-level infoPlist: target parameter. The same fix is needed for CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS and INFOPLIST_FILE in SettingsDictionary.

Error log

No error — cosmetic issue only. Flat PBXFileReference entries appear in the generated project.pbxproj Project root group for every path in CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS and INFOPLIST_FILE build settings.
