Custom Xcode 4 Template question...add files to target

I'm trying to create a custom version of the cocos2d ios xcode 4 template. I think I have everything mostly figured out. I want to add files to the template, so I create the files in the appropriate directory, and reference them in the plist file, just like the pre-existing files. When I create a project based on the new template, I see the new files. But the new files are not added to the target to build...and I can't figure out how to add them to the target.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

OK - I figured it out. When I file is added to a project and you want it part of the target, the plist file looks like:
```
<key>HelloWorldLayer.m</key>
<dict>
    <key>Path</key>
    <string>HelloWorldLayer.m</string>
</dict>
```
But, if you don't want it added to the target (like a header file), you use:
```
<key>HelloWorldLayer.h</key>
<dict>
    <key>Path</key>
    <string>HelloWorldLayer.h</string>
    <key>TargetIndices</key>
    <array/>
</dict>
```
So, the 'targetindices' key cannot be set if you intend the file to be added to the target. I think.

Could you post your current .plist file ?

@riq:

Thanks, see above, I got it working. I didn't know what the 'TargetIndices' key was doing, so I mistakenly set it for the implementation of the file pair that I added.

As I'm sure you know, there still isn't much out there for Xcode 4 template documentation. If you want to laugh, check out the following:
