agvtool Error

I ran into this error from agvtool recently, and hope this might save someone a few minutes of frustration in the future.

If you have your INFOPLIST_FILE build setting value set to something like $(SRCROOT)/MyApp/Info.plist and you run agvtool bump -all it will complain Cannot find "$(SRCROOT)/MyApp/Info.plist".

The reason is that agvtool doesn’t understand the $(SRCROOT) variable. So, to fix this, you just have to remove that from the path – so, it becomes MyApp/Info.plist in this case. Xcode interprets it relative to $(SRCROOT) anyway, so it will continue to work there, and now agvtool is happy.
