Xcode will expand build settings in your Info.plist when it copies it into your product.

This is a build setting that Xcode fills in by default when building a target, not necessarily one Xcode provides UI for in the Build tab. See the Xcode Build Settings Reference for the settings that affect it and the settings it affects.

I have an annoying problem that whenever I start a new Xcode project, it defaults to naming my application based on a project I created about three years ago. I have no idea where it gets this information or how to change it. I end up having to spend the first half an hour of every new project going through and fixing up all the pre-populated settings.

So the wider question is how can I sort this out, it's getting old.

But the more pressing question right now is that having gone through this exercise for the umpteenth time, this time round I can't get it to execute when I "run" (still a bare-bones shell app at this stage) as it claims it "can't find the executable <the same old wrong executable name that it always uses by mistake>". It seems to be naming this based on ${EXECUTABLE_NAME} but I just can't seem to find where that is defined. Could somebody help me out here?

And if anyone knows what's going on with the bigger problem, I'd be so grateful for a fix.

I realise this is more of an Xcode question but I suspect the greater traffic here and bozo nature of my question is likely to find a quicker answer here.
