How to add and use images as files instead of xcassets in XCode

Drag and drop the images into the project.

We recommend that you hold all images under a Images folder within Files.

In the pop up that appears, make sure that Copy items if needed is checked off and that you have checked off the relevant targets for the project that will use these images.

Local image files work the same was as xcassets, and can be added to an image view by using the name of the file.

We recommend that you add the names to a struct that holds all the references. To learn how to do this or how to add an image to a view, follow the tutorials below.
