Summary:
If an image resource in a xib has uses a path prefix (for example, 'aFolder/myImage' for an image located at 'MyApp.app/aFolder/myImage.png') the compilation of the xib will fail and the project will be unable to finish the build. When the error occurs, Xcode reports a '-1' error and 'ibtoold' reports a NSRangeException thrown by -[NSTaggedPointerString getCharacters:range:] in the console.

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Create a new  single view controller project with a xib. 
  2. Add an image resource to the project so that, when compiled, the final path will be along the lines of MyProject.app/<a-resource-folder>/<image-name>
  3. Add a UIImageView to the initial XIB which has its image resource path set to '<a-resource-folder>/<image-name>'
  4. Build the project

Expected Results:
The project will successfully build and properly present the image at runtime.

Actual Results:
The compilation of the XIB fails due to a '-1' error and the build fails. In addition, the 'ibtoold' process reports a NSRangeException thrown by -[NSTaggedPointerString getCharacters:range:] in the console.

Version:
Xcode 6.1 (6A1052d)
Mac OS X Yosemite (14A389)

Notes:
Removing the path from all references to the image in the XIB using a text editor allows the XIB to be opened (and compiled) by Xcode but the image will not be displayed at runtime.
