iOS changing target name

Question

In iOS project, I changed the target name. But for building, on the top left (beside stop button), its still showing old target name only... What should I change so that old project name will completely disappear from XCode?

Help ! How did you change the target name ? – Cherif Apr 24 '15 at 11:47 — Cherif, Apr 24 '15 at 11:47

Select your target from TARGETS(in left navigation bar) and double click, then rename it.

Took me a while to figure this out (don't judge me) - but if anyone else is struggling to get to this view -> Next to the "General" button (on the left) is the button that hides/shows the tree view that allows you to rename the TARGETS. Hope this helps someone else :) – N1234 Oct 16 '19 at 16:28
That, or the small little icon to the left of General does the trick also. – Dylan Reich Nov 13 '19 at 01:42

This does not change the name of the App seen on the home-screen! – ragnarius Sep 18 '16 at 22:37

If you want to change Project Name, Target name, -Info.plist name & -Prefix.pch name then,

    - Select Project in Xcode (.xcodeproj file)
    - Selecte file inspector
    - In identity section change project name which u want to update & press enter
    - After scanning whole project it will ask to change the file names i.e target, plist & pch file
    - Select check boxes as per your need

I believe this is the better answer to the question. – Hashim Akhtar Dec 15 '14 at 17:57
So how to handle `.temp_caseinsensitive_rename` thing? This solution does not cover case-change-only modifications to the project name. – scaryguy Aug 18 '16 at 03:31

Target name(TARGET_NAME)

To change a Target name(TARGET_NAME) you can:

Rename a target via Project Settings(Double click or press Return)

Also after changing Target Name you can:

Rename a schema via Manage Schemas... -> Select -> Press Return

Rename a root Group via Navigator. In this case you should resolve errors that can be caused by out-to-date path. For example:
- Info.plist(INFOPLIST_FILE) or
```
Build input file cannot be found: '<some_path>/Info.plist' 
```
- Bridging Header(SWIFT_OBJC_BRIDGING_HEADER) or
```
error opening input file '<some_path>/<module_name>-Bridging-Header.h' (No such file or directory)
```
- Move umbrella header from private to public scope or
```
Umbrella header '<name>.h' not found
```

To make the change of target name effective you can go to manage schemes and there, remove all old targets. Then click on "Autocreate Schemes Now"
