Externalizing strings for the flex4 project. We now produce a resource bundle swc (flex4_rb.swc) that has all of the externalized strings for the flex4 project. We include 3 new bundles: components, layout and sparkEffects for the en_US locale. Other locales will come shortly.

I have just managed to fix this problem !
My second Strings.plist file (FR) had an absolute path. The drop down menu for path type (absolute, relative) was greyed out in the info pane of xcode so I could not change it to a relative path.
The solution is to change it manually in the project.pbxproj file:
If you open the file to view the source, and search for "plist", find the following line:
/* fr */ = {isa = PBXFileReference; lastKnownFileType = text.plist.strings; name = fr; path = /Users/[YOUR-USER]/[PATH_TO_PROJECT]/fr.lproj/InfoPlist.strings; sourceTree = "<absolute>"; };
Notice that the path attribute is the full path to the file, and that the sourceTree attribute is set to .
Now change the path so that it's relative:
/Users/[YOUR-USER]/[PATH_TO_PROJECT]/fr.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
should become
fr.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
Also change the sourceTree value from <absolute> to <group>
The line should now look like this:
/* fr */ = {isa = PBXFileReference; lastKnownFileType = text.plist.strings; name = fr; path = fr.lproj/InfoPlist.strings; sourceTree = "<group>"; };
Repeat these steps for all your localizations that are stuck with absolute paths.
Save the file, commit the changes, and voilà! no more no such file problem
