How can I add file to project in Xcode 9?

Question

I want to add image file to project.

When I delete this file from desktop,

Image file appears in red?

But in project folder, I find this image file.

In Xcode 8 its working fine,

Any idea?

It is an Xcode9-beta (9M136h) bug. I don't know if it has been resolved in beta3 or not. Copy items if needed copies the file to your project directory but still links to the original file.

What I do is, after dragging the file to my project, I select the folder icon (see red circle in the image below) from File Inspector and point to the copied file in the project directory.

@pesch's approach works too. First copy the image to your project folder and then drag it to Xcode.
