Can I add a .js file to my resource bundle?

Question

If I add a .js file to my resources for loading at runtime, it doesn't seem to work. If I rename the file with a .txt extension it is fine:
//this won't return a path to foo.js
NSString* path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"foo" ofType:@"js"];
//but this can find foo.txt
NSString* path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"foo" ofType:@"txt"];
Now, I can just use a .txt extension for the files I want to load, but I'm curious to know what's happening - I guess the build process is treating it as source code and discarding it, is there any way to add a .js to my resource bundle?

That's not an entirely meaningful verification as it only proves your code is failing; not why. Open the bundle in the Finder and look.
Perhaps my question would be better phrases as +'How do I stop XCode from treating a .js file as source code and put it in the resource bundle instead'+
Anything you want in the bundle needs to be in the "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase for the target.
