Solution 1

Case 1: Format difference

It worked when i changed the images from jpg to png, using Preview. Previously It might not be working due to .png as name only not as format. This link helped.

Also to convert the multiple images to png in a folder in single step use terminal. Using cd goto the folder containing the images (JPGs or any type). run Code:

mkdir pngs; sips -s format png *.* --out pngs

It will convert your images to .png and will create a pngs folder contain the converted images.

Case 2: Two images with same name or one image added twice:

As Rajneesh071 & Himanshu suggested: There can be two or more images with same name or two targets were added for same image. Goto project target ->Build Phases -> Copy Bundle Resources and search for your image file name. and remove the repeated file.

MY ANSWER:

I had this problem. Two targets were added for same image. Goto project target ->Build Phases -> Copy Bundle Resources and search for your image file name.

Most likely there are two entries. Remove one.

By doing so I got resolved my problem.This works for me :) :)

HAPPY TO HELP :) :)

Solution 3

I'm hoping to give more visibility to @Rajneesh071's comment. In my case, there was more than one Default.png file in my project. When I first created my project, Xcode put Default.png (and other splash screen png files) in my project. After creating my own splash screen, and adding them to the project through Xcode, I started getting the weird png crush errors. After trying many different answers, I came across Rajneesh071's comment that more than one Default.png existed. Did a quick filter on Default and sure enough, the Xcode provided Default files where listed along with my own. Deleted the Xcode provided Default*.png files and no more pngcrush errors.

If you find this useful, please give an uptick to Rajeneesh071's comment on the original question.

The simulator's file system (HFS on OSX) is case insensitive, where as HFS on iOS is case sensitive. Check that your case of your path is correct.

[Rajneesh071]

You have more then one image with this name Default.png

@Damien thanks for help it worked, when I saved it again by changing the format to .png. Thanks :)

@Rajneesh071, it was not that issue, Thanks for help. :)

You just made my day sir! :)

Worth adding that you may think that you have put two images with the same name in different directories, but the folders in Xcode aren't really directories, from the point of view of the final bundle

[nickthedude]

Sweet! Worked like a champ.

Xcode somehow decided to add to the copy bundle resources the same file (with the exact same location) more than once in my case.

[fpauer]

In my case, it was png files with the same name in Copy Bundle Resources.

I have used "sips -s format png *.png" as it was related to png files only. I have other jpeg files which were getting converted to png format with previous command. This shows that we should customize commands as per our needs. Still its a life saver.

whooa you beauty save my life amazing... :)

This is it. Two entries for the same graphic. It's infuriating that this error keeps appearing even in Xcode 7 and 8 in 2017.
