I renamed an xib file in Xcode4, just by highlighting in the project organizer

  • 0

I renamed an xib file in Xcode4, just by highlighting in the project organizer and changing the name, but it seems to confuse the project. For example, if I add a new button to the view, it doesn’t show up when I run the project. However, if I rename it back to the original name, it shows up. What’s the correct way to rename an xib file?

    Xcode can sometimes be very picky with name-changed XIBs; the way that works best for me is as follows:

    • Remove the reference to a XIB file from my open project
    • In Finder, rename the file(s)
    • Drag them back to the project

    You may still encounter errors either side of this process – and on other occasions, renaming the file by a (slow) double click on said file will work…. for errors like these, I find that by going Project -> Clean will also help.

    Keep us posted!
