Tired sending my friend an XCODE project , but files are missing? No idea why?

Make sure you're zipping the entire directory that contains the project. Just sending the .xcodeproj file and the source won't do it. You need the whole set of data.
Assuming you understand how to use the Terminal.app:
In the directory above your project:
tar cvzf <name_of_project>.tar.gz <directory_of_project>
This will create a .tar.gz
file for your project, which is compressed archive, similar to .zip
Your friend can then run tar xvzf <name_of_project>.tar.gz
to expand to a directory on their computer.
If you run man tar
from the command line, this will explain what all the command line arguments for tar do.
Right click (Ctrl-Click with a single button mouse) on the project's root folder and choose compress.
A zip file will be created with the compressed contents of the project folder.
Send this file to your friend.
Use github.com or some other source code management system. If you're zipping stuff enough to get tired of it that means you should stop doing it.
