Exectuables specify settings that the running executable should honour (for example, run-time arguments).

Targets describe how the source should be compiled, linked, packaged, etc. Therefore, the name of your (compiled, linked, packaged etc) product will be defined in the active target.

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?
