Duplicate and rename Xcode project & associated fo

Question

I would like to be able to duplicate an entire Xcode project, rename the project and the associated files without Xcode going mental, and without having to manually re-import all files to the project.

Answer 1

I am using this script after I rename my iOS Project. It helps to change the directories name and make the names in sync.

NOTE: you will need to manually change the scheme's name.

Answer 2

One more thing to try!

When I copied all of my files, opened the project, and renamed it, everything changed to my new project name except for the test target! I got a linker error that said I was missing a file called "myOldProjectname.app". Here's what fixed it:

1. Click on your project settings and select your test target

2. Click on build settings and search for "test host"

3. Check those 2 file paths. Chances are that those 2 paths are still pointing at your old project name.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

For anybody else having issues with storyboard crashes after copying your project, head over to Main.storyboard under Identity Inspector.

Next, check that your current module is the correct renamed module and not the old one.
