thanks you for all the information! I'm still reading ....

However, this makes me think: Even though the "Executable" (in XCode that is) has the old name, if I look in my project directory under / Build/Debug or /Build/Release , my resulting app is there with the new name...

This is probably because you did not clean your project before you renamed your product name.

So does the "Executable" name has any effect on the resulting app's name??

Nope. The name of the "Executable" is meaningful name that should reflect the runtime settings of the executable, much like how a meaningful name of a target reflects the construction and packaging of the target.

Consider this example: if you had a single, multi-lingual app you could specify multiple executables, each of which runs the executable in a different language.

(Sorry if this question has been answered already, I'm still reading the replies!...)

No worries. Hope this helps!

I just renamed my project (according to the instructions here: http://aplus.rs/cocoa/how-to-rename-project-in-xcode-3x/ )

However, I noticed that the "Executable" in my project still has the old name... should I (and how do I) rename it to the new name?

Also, what exactly is the difference between "Targets" and "executables" ?? Seems like I am always editing/configuring the Target but never the executable...? What is the purpose of the executable anyway?
