Answer 1

Dang I can't believe I figured it out, it was an option in Xcode. So I clicked on the bar at the top of xcode near the stop button with the text (Project Name > My Mac 64-bit)

Then clicked edit scheme. The clicked on the options tab and clicked use custom working directory. Then selected a working directory. Now the text file appears!

Answer 2

To find the current working directory, in the project navigator, under the "Products" folder, right-click the product and choose "Show in Finder". In this directory you will also find the compiled code.

For example: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<project name>-gweghgfqkjkidjfhcgetdryechjz/Build/Products/Debug

Answer 3

As mentioned above, editing the scheme worked for me but getting to the scheme was different.

• Use the Product Menu
• Select the Scheme option
• Select the Edit Scheme option
• Click the Options Tab
• Tick the "Working Directory" item
• Click the small icon at the right end of the text box.
• Select the directory

I also had the Run/Debug option selected in the left hand pane of the window.
