Reading GoogleService-Info.plist file gives an error

I got a merge conflict while merging a branch in app.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file. Conflict was with references related to GoogleService-Info.plist. I followed this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/2007358/4863339 to resolve the conflict. Now XCode was showing two same files. Deleting one file would show that entire file has been deleted. I went back to app.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file and deleted the redundant file reference (Costly mistake). Now ,even when I add that GoogleService-Info.plist back XCode gives me following error.

Copy Plist File error: /Users/user/Documents/app/app/GoogleService-Info.plist:0: error: reading data: The file “GoogleService-Info.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.

I'm using XCode 8 and info.Plist is pointing to the location where it is supposed to be.

I've tried clean + build even that isn't helping. Can someone please help me with this?

I resolved this issue by deleting one of the references in app.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file , so there wouldn't be duplicate entries for the same file while merging.

You can remove the GoogleService-Info.plist from the "Copy Bundle Resources" in your project's Target.
