Desktop/New name/old name_Prefix.pch: No such file or directory

when I have change oldname_prefix.pch with newname_prefix.pch ..

Solution 1

For Xcode 4 or later:

• Open a project
• Select Project Navigator
• Highlight project name
• Single click on project name

For Xcode 3:

• Open a project > Menu > Project > Rename ...

Solution 2

There is no need to change the name of the project in order to change the display name of the application (which is what you see on the home screen of the iOS device, in iTunes, etc.). Simply change the "Bundle display name" in your info.plist from the default "${PRODUCT_NAME}" to whatever you want it to be. The name of your project is invisible to users, they only see the "Bundle display name."

Solution 3

click on you project in project explorer and again click on your project on right side and there you can see project name as shown in the figure

Solution 4

1. On the left side expand Targets
2. Double click on your target and then select build tab in the newly opened window
3. on the top right there is a search box. Type - "Product Name"
4. Now look below, under packaging section, you will see Product Name
5. Change it and clean rebuild, your new app name should be changed by now.

Solution 5

Goto youname-Info.plist

Change Both

Bundle name and Bundle display name to your preferred file name.

Done.

Do you want to change the application name or project name? Its confusing that title is "XCode Project name" and your description says "app name"..........

Don't see this option in the menu.

i would prefer users refer this answer by Bogatyr so that it will not create issues with 'Provisioning Profile' and 'App ID' in the future if you want the app to be in the appstore

For anyone like me ..It will take some time so be patient. Don't get panic coz it seems you lost your project at first!!

Note: this isn't a one step process. Immediately after you will have to go into the nitty gritty of editing your schemes, etc.

Be careful, I found this changed the sizes of images and a lot of textures could not be sourced, undid the change and followed the answer below: change Bundle Display name

Works like a charm on Xcode 6.1.1. However these two following links can help you before/after changing the project name, only in case you encounter problems: stackoverflow.com/questions/10464561/… and stackoverflow.com/questions/12820022/…
