[CMake] [iOS] What is the correct way to add resources to an XCode project

[Ruslan Baratov]

Hi,

I have used two approaches which is not based on assets directories.

First is to save icons to resources with special names. In this case 
Xcode will add them automatically, see:
* 
https://github.com/forexample/testapp/blob/9202304134862f043af740af27dc7efb3b3f565d/CMakeLists.txt#L28

Second is to save icons to resources too, but you can control names of 
pictures. You have to update *.plist file in this case.
* custom names: 
https://github.com/ruslo/weather/blob/56eee62eaac327e1a048165aaa868c2f3a71972f/Source/weather/ui/ios/icons/app/sugar.cmake#L15
* plist file: 
https://github.com/ruslo/weather/blob/56eee62eaac327e1a048165aaa868c2f3a71972f/Source/weather/ui/ios/views/plist.in#L35
* adding to resources: 
https://github.com/ruslo/weather/blob/56eee62eaac327e1a048165aaa868c2f3a71972f/Source/weather/ui/ios/CMakeLists.txt#L49

Also according to my reverse engineering skills next xcode variables 
used to define assets directories for icons and launch images:
* ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME
* ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_LAUNCHIMAGE_NAME

This means you can experiment with target properties:
* XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME
* XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_LAUNCHIMAGE_NAME

I have never used them before, so have no idea about it's working or not.
