As far as I've seen, it is *not* sufficient to change Product Name in
the target's build settings: The "Executable" field in the target's
Properties must also be changed. If these do not agree, attempting to
launch the app in Finder produces the following alert: "You cannot
open the application 'Foo' because it may be damaged or incomplete."
Also, launching such an app from within Xcode (via Cmd-R) produces
strange results: the app launches, but does not come to the front.
And if you bring it to the front, its menu bar is nowhere to be seen
- instead Xcode's menubar is active, and any command keys issued will
invoke Xcode menu commands - i.e. Cmd-Q offers to quit Xcode, not the
app whose window is frontmost.
So, changing one or the other of the Target's Build Settings->Product
Name and Properties->Executable produces a broken app. At least it
does here (Xcode 2.2.1). The two values must be kept in sync. Why on
earth Xcode doesn't take care of this itself is a mystery. As is the
purpose of having two different settings which cannot differ.

If that doesn't appear to be working, make sure you are doing it
for all
configurations. m.

In XCode 2.2 I have a project that builds an application
MyTestApp.app with executable MyTestApp in its MacOS folder. How do
I change the settings so that the built application will be named
(for example) MyGreatApp.app?
