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?

If you want your app to be renamed, then yes. Set it in the settings for your Target.




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?

Target is the thing it is compiling. If the Target produces an executable, it will be in the Executables section. You can add other Executables, if needed. For instance, I build a target that is a large framework, but I have lots of different executables. In Xcode, I can switch from one executable to another to test the framework. This help?
