Changing the location for "Info.plist" in Xcode

Before you say that this is a minor problem and was discussed a million times here and on other forums, I want to say that I went through all of them and tried to implement each of their solutions but with no luck. I either missed some very small detail or there is something wrong with my project in general. Hope you might help.

The problem:
After I’ve changed the location of "Info.plist" my project shows black screen.

Or I get the following errors:

enter image description here

What I’ve already tried:

  1. In "Target membership" checked or unchecked the box with the project name
  2. In "Targets" – "Build settings" – "Info.plist File" changed location to "Personal Quiz/Supporting files/Info.plist" plus tried all the other possible paths.
  3. In "Targets" – "Build Phases" – "Copy Bundle Resources" – deleted and add "Info.plist
  4. In File "Info" – "File Inspector" – "Location" changed to "Absolute path", "Relative to group", "Relative to project" and mirrored chosen path path to "Build settings"
  5. In simulation – "Device" – "Erase all content and settings"
  6. "Command + Shift + K" to clean the project
  7. Tried to read apple developers book
  8. Tried to implement some code
  9. Tried some other actions that I can’t even recall

As a result I either have a black screen or errors above. What am I doing wrong?

    It might be the occurrence of multiple info.plist files. So the solution is:

    Go to your Bundle settings -> Open Target -> Open Build Phases > Expand Copy Bundle Resources and remove info.plist from there.

    Now try to run your project. I hope it fixes your problem.

    Note: Also check the path of your info.plist file

    Copy the path by selecting info.plist file -> Goto File Inspector -> Location: select Relative to project -> And copy that path

    enter image description here

    Now go to your Bundle settings -> Open Build Settings -> In Packaging edit Info.plist File -> And paste the path which you copied earlier.

    Have you tried deleting the Derived Data already created and then Clean build (CMD + Shift + K)?

    To delete the derived data, Goto Xcode Preference(CMD + ,) > Locations > DerivedData path

    XCode Preference > Location > DerivedData path
