I’m looking to move some of my Xojo console projects from 2019r1.1 to 2026r1.1

One thing I have noticed is that when I build these projects with 2026r1.1, the compiler is creating an Info.Plist file outside of the Builds folder.

Does anybody have an idea on why this would be happening?

For reference, this is what is in the file:

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">

<plist version="0.9">
<dict>
   <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
   <string>myapp</string>
   <key>CFBundleName</key>
   <string>myapp</string>
   <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
   <string>com.companyltd.myapp</string>
   <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
   <string>6.0</string>
   <key>CFBundleVersion</key>

   <string>25A352</string>
<key>NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance</key><true/>

</dict>
</plist>

```

I build my console helper apps with 2025r2.1 with no problem. Dunno why the 2026r1.2 builds are a mess. I didn’t get an Info.plist but I got a \_CodeSignature folder. I haven’t updated to the newer IDEs for Lifeboat but now I can see I would have to sort out new issues.

The \_CodeSignature folder is due to the adhoc code signing being performed. Unfortunately, Xojo knows best and doesn’t allow us to disable it.

The Info.Plist file is a mystery as it doesn’t appear with a newly created project.

I guess I have no idea why it doesn’t come out of my 2025r2.1 build process. I’m so tired of Xojo breaking every update that I’ve just stopped. Something in my build process must “fix” it.

Good luck.
