Thank you! Works perfectly. Apple forces developers to make videos like this when it SHOULD be 1 click *"Rename this project"* option instead of having to google it to figure out all the places you have to MANUALLY change the name in order for the project to work as expected.
I'd add that you probably will also have to right-click your xcode project > Show Package Contents and then right-click your project.pbxproj file and open with a text editor. Then replace your old name with your new name wherever you find it (Info.plist, bridging header, etc).
This has been the best explanation I've seen so far but I need to add one thing that had me pulling my hair our for more hours than I'd like to admit. I had to manually edit the project.xcworkspace and replace all instances of the old name with the new as well. My project would show a splash screen and then immediately crash every time until I did this. Hope this helps someone else!
Thanks for doing this. Shouldn't be necessary - Xcode should be able to take care of this all itself, but there you go - it was clearly too difficult for them. Great job.
Thanks, very helpful. I also duplicate my original project and rename the old one, so in fact I made a copy for a fork development. I don't understand Apple why not make a function like RENAME PROJECT or COPY PROJECT as a one click functionality ........ ? Obviously it is possible. Thanks again
Thank you for making such informative video. I have just renamed a slightly more complicated project (use of Parse Server and a few view controllers), it works fine for me. I am using Xcode v8 beta 6. Good point to check plist.
Thanks so much, This was really helpful. I may add that if the Application name does not display correctly due to errors. Edit the name in the "Project Editor".
Hello, Great video. My question is ... if i have the Tests and UITests folder i need to do any operation for renaming xcode project? Thank you very much!!
I just wanted to say thanks for this video. Embarrassingly enough, I have spent hours trying to do this in Xcode 8. Most of the results in stackoverflow are dated and don't really seem to work with Xcode 8. I am left with one issue is a file not found error for I think if I can get that resolved this may actually work. Thanks!
Tried this method but I wasn't able to get my project to run. The difference is I have a workspace which uses cocopods. Is there another step to get this setup to be renamed? If not, then I must of missed a step.
Hi, i have a questions regarding organisation identifier. If I forgotten to add (com.) in front of my organisation identifier, is there still a way to add it later when i'm half way through my project?
Hi, I tried this method on Xcode 8 and it was nearly perfect, except the source control won't work properly. It can detect the change, but cannot commit the changes, I think it's because I haven't changed the repository location for the source control. Any ideas on how to solve this?
Hello buddy, I followed all the steps but. getting this error Apple LLVM 8.1 Error clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/roberto/Desktop/StoreFinder3.0/StoreFinder/StoreFinder-Prefix.pch' clang: error: no input files My real directory is '/Users/roberto/Desktop/StoreFinder3.0/GuiaMujer/StoreFinder-Prefix.pch' Don't know why is taking the latest path, and I don't know how to change this, I have this problem for days please help
Thanks, it works in Xcode7.3.1. However I am in the middle of the project and I got many ?s(question marks) when I commit(local git) after renaming it. any solution do you have?
Hi, love this tutorial... I am facing on a problem related to the .xcworkspace extension... I followed all the process but doesn't work... It works fine for the pod file but not the rest... the project icon is blurred and is not selectable... thanks for the answer...
How would I do this with an xcodeWorkspace that has cocoapods installed? do i just change both the workspace and the project like you did in the video? Will this cause any errors with cocoapods? thanks
+MAR Software Technologies LLC I was able to follow this link, h4ckish.com/2015/01/22/renaming-your-cocoapods-ios-project/, and get it done. It is necessary to remove all remnants of cocoa-pods before doing this. It is all explained in the link. The only part that was not explained was the bridging header, which is easily fixed by manually changing it in-> Build Settings -> Swift Compiler-Code Generation-> Objective C Bridging Header. Thanks for the video it was a huge help
+Divya Agrawal In the simulator under hardware select the home key. Find your app and hold it until it shakes and delete from simulator. Re-run App and it should show up with the new name.
The amount of steps required to do this is laughable. How is Xcode the official iOS IDE? I was able to do the exact same thing in Android Studio in one click... wtf

Don't forget the Swift bridging header.

Great!!
Thanks!!!!
After doing above process. App launches successfully after resetting simulator. But still previous name is showing in simulator
+Divya Agrawal In the simulator under hardware select the home key. Find your app and hold it until it shakes and delete from simulator. Re-run App and it should show up with the new name.
Change from Target Section worked for me
+Divya Agrawal Great!
This is the only one way?
tnx!
