App fails to launch: resource bundle not found at expected path

[in0vik]

Description

CodexBar fails to launch with a fatal error because the resource bundle accessor looks for CodexBar_CodexBar.bundle in the wrong location.

Error Message

CodexBar/resource_bundle_accessor.swift:12: Fatal error: could not load resource bundle: from /Applications/CodexBar.app/CodexBar_CodexBar.bundle or /Users/steipete/Projects/codexbar/.build/arm64-apple-macosx/release/CodexBar_CodexBar.bundle

Root Cause

The Swift Package Manager-generated resource_bundle_accessor.swift searches for the bundle in:

1. /Applications/CodexBar.app/CodexBar_CodexBar.bundle (app root - incorrect for macOS app bundle)
2. /Users/steipete/Projects/codexbar/.build/... (developer's build path)

However, the bundle is correctly placed at:
/Applications/CodexBar.app/Contents/Resources/CodexBar_CodexBar.bundle

This is the standard location for resources in a macOS app bundle.

Workaround

Creating a symlink resolves the issue:

ln -s Contents/Resources/CodexBar_CodexBar.bundle /Applications/CodexBar.app/CodexBar_CodexBar.bundle

Suggested Fix

The bundle copy phase in the build process should either:

1. Place the bundle in the app root alongside the Contents folder, or
2. Override the SPM-generated resource accessor to look in Contents/Resources/

Environment

• macOS version: Darwin 24.6.0
• CodexBar version: 0.18.0-beta.2 (build 50)
• Git commit: 6a6b598

The fix for this is already present, we just need a new tag for HEAD, in the meanwhile .beta1 starts fine.
