Xcode added folder in blue and related there files are not compiling

From Xcode project right click and Add File to "projectName" there I created a NewFolder "ABCD" name and added to same "ABCD" empty folder to the project its in Blue colour, I expected its in Yellow Color, What the files which I added inside Blue Colour folder files are not compiling in X-Code all files which added in Blue Colour folder say file is not found after compiling the code.

Is there any why that default, I added folder are link related to the project?

Its very strange for me this issue, Your feedback is very helpful.

If you simply drag drop a file and choose Create Folder reference, it will add as a blue folder. Please make sure you select "Create groups" from the dialogue and make sure you have selected all the targets in the "Add To Targets" section.

Like this

It will be added as yellow enter image description here

Group-> With groups, Xcode stores in the project a reference to each individual file. This can lead to problems:

Folder references-> Folder references are simpler. You can spot a folder reference because it shows up in blue instead of yellow.
