When I Remember To Write It Down

Renaming an Xcode project is not overly difficult, but it does require a few steps. I have been successful with this method:

• In the Navigator, click on the top-level project element.
• Hover over the project’s name with the mouse and press enter.
• In the text field, rename the project and accept Xcode’s prompts.
• Close Xcode.
• Rename the source folder.
• Right-click on the ‘.xcodeproj’ file and “Show Package Contents”.
• Open the ‘.pbxproj’ file in a text editor and replace all instances of the old project name with the new one.

If everything was done properly, the project can be opened again like normal.
