There are numerous post over the net that detail how relative paths don’t work in Xcode. I do have an Xcode template that I downloaded where the relative paths DO work, however I have not been able to figure out why nor replicate it in other projects.

#ifdef __APPLE__
#include "CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h"
#endif

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This makes relative paths work in C++ in Xcode by changing directory to the Resources folder inside the .app bundle
#ifdef __APPLE__
CFBundleRef mainBundle = CFBundleGetMainBundle();
CFURLRef resourcesURL = CFBundleCopyResourcesDirectoryURL(mainBundle);
char path[PATH_MAX];
if (!CFURLGetFileSystemRepresentation(resourcesURL, TRUE, (UInt8 *)path, PATH_MAX))
{
// error!
}
CFRelease(resourcesURL);

chdir(path);
std::cout << "Current Path: " << path << std::endl;
#endif
