I wanted to separate my resources, nib files and localization files into a common reusable bundle. And so I created a bundle for my ios application and specified resources to be included inside the bundle using build phases, copy bundle resources. But, now if I try to load the bundle, I am not able to load the bundle. I try using [NSBundle allBundles] and the array shows only the main apps bundle.

I also tried to enumerate the directory for NSApplicationPath but again the only bundle available is my application default bundle. I wanted to learn this technique and make use of it to separate my resources. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
