I tried ohho's answer and it didn't work but found another solution. You can open your Info.plist file and go where it says' "Bundle Name" and change to your new name that will be shown in your launcher. I hope this wrks

Select the project in the Project Navigator (Command+1) and open the File Inspector in the right sidebar (Command+option+1).

There, change the Project Name.

I am using xcode 4.3.1 and tried to change product name as Quakeboy said above in the bundle setting, but it led to reading error. I was stuck in this error for an hour and now it is working well. I simply made the product name blank then retype the older name that I had before. building succeeded again!

Note to anyone who like to change project name : you don't have to change the project file name the bundle display name will be display to users so just don't hang out with this issue too much. can be wasting time.

Answer 5

It creates an organizational nightmare to have project names that don't match the bundled name. But when I use the "click on project name and answer yes to let xcode rename all of the references" technique, all of the nested folders for the project on my hard drive still have the old project name. Why aren't they renamed to match?

If I change those folder names, I'm pretty sure it will mess up all of the project links. I am not going to take the chance, unless someone can suggest a way around this.

For changing application name only (that will display along with app icon) in xcode 4 or later:

Click on your project file icon from Groups & Files panel, choose Target -> Build Settings -> Packaging -> Product Name. Click on the row, a pop-up will come, type your new app name here.

For changing Project name only (that will display along with project icon) in xcode 4 or later:

Click on your project file icon from Groups & Files panel, choose Project(above targets) from right pane, just see at the far right pane(it will be visible only if you have enabled "Hide or show utilities").Look for project name.Edit it to new name you want to give your project.

Delete your app from simulator/device, clean and run.Changes should reflect.

That's it
