alberto: Could you please identify the “Project” entry better. Do you mean under “Targets”? Or the very top level entry in the left hand panel?

XCode 3.2 makes renaming a project a trivial task. Just select the Project entry in the Groups & Files panel, then select the menu Project -> Rename… In the dialog that comes up you have the option to make a snapshot before the rename itself takes place. Worked like a charm on the first try

I’ve had luck changing the installed file name (the name the user sees) in iPhone development by:

Projects>Edit Active Target

and changing the entry for “Product Name” under the “Settings” heading.

If you are trying to change the name of the final product (the app) you should simply open the info panel on your app in the target section of your app, then click on the show drop down and select settings defined at this level and there will be a section written product name double click on it and change the name of the app!

Brilliant. I spent hours previously trying to get this done and your checklist (plus jcb’s advice) took me all of 4 minutes to get right.

One more thing that needs to be done in Xcode 3.1.2:

Change GCC_PREFIX_HEADER to your new Prefix header

I renamed my project using the method above…adding the extra steps for 3.1 and it runs…however, the name in the Apple bar at the top of the screen still shows the original project name! How can I change that?

Thank you very much! Following the instructions on this website I was able to successfully rename my Xcode project! Next time I will think two seconds more about the project name before starting to code

Best regards from Germany,
