Changed project name in Xcode causing naming error

Question

My old name consisted of a camel case type name similar to this

MyApp

I then changed it to

Myapp 'notice the A is now non-caps'

I changed this by clicking MyApp name in the navigator menu and changing it, up came a help box asking me to do system wide changes I clicked YES!

but now when I build this application its saying the name of my app is:

Myapp-temp-caseinsensitive-rename

I am now wondering how do I get rid of the -temp-caseinsensitive-rename portion?

Solution 1

Check the product name in build settings and make sure everywhere it is Myapp. If that is done,

• Close your project -> go to finder.
• Right click on your .xcodeproject file and click on show package contents.
• Then right click on your project.pbxproj and open it in some text editor.
• Then search for Myapp-temp-caseinsensitive-rename and manually rename it.
• Save it after changing and then reopen the project.

Make sure you have taken a back up of your project before doing this.

Solution 2

I had a similar issue, but it only affected a Target that got affixed with "case-insensitive-rename". If you have a similar situation, just do the following (using XCode 5):

1) click on your project in the left. 2) expand to see all your targets by clicking the tiny button

3) rename affected Target(s).

4) Save project. Then for OCD brownie points, open your project in a text editor and do a ctrl-f for any "insensitive" or similar to ensure everything's resolved.

Solution 3

None of these worked for me, I found this post and it worked, and it was the simplest. So I guess the solution depends on how you got yourself in the mess in the first place :)

-temp-caseinsensitive-rename in Bundle Identifier

Solution 4

Go to project -> Build Settings -> Search "Packaging" and change the product name key.

If that does not work, repeat but within your target, so Targets -> YourApp -> Build Settings -> Search "Packaging"

Voila.

Solution 5

Try building a new scheme of your app by selecting on project name on top of xcode after play and stop button. Worked for me!
