OS X shouldn't have behaved like that. Yeah, that’s the part that bothered me. OS X shouldn’t have behaved like that.

I usually only ever use lowercase file names, even on Windows, just to avoid weird bugs like this. I wouldn't have expected it on a Mac though.

But in this case it's a reverse--this was happening on a Mac where it SHOULD have failed due to the difference in naming. But it didn't for some reason. It only fails in the final bundled app version running on the SAME hardware. Very weird behavior and totally difficult to detect until it was already submitted. If I had developed the app on a PC I would more understand that this could happen. Hi, yes it has everything to do with the file system.

In Windows, SoMeFiLe.TxT and somefile.txt are the same file. The iPhone OS, and Macs in general, being UNIX-based, have case-sensitive file names, which results in the problem you discovered. It's not something Apple can fix, and certainly not something Microsoft will fix anytime soon. I think that developing these on OS X would fix the problem. Just my $.02. I have never developed an iPhone app, though. This is just my knee-jerk reaction, having run into similar problems with other programming.
