To rename an Xcode project:
1. Close the project in Xcode.
2. Rename the .xcodeproj item in Finder.
3. Open the project in Xcode.
4. Observe the name change in window title.
5. Observe the name change of the project in "Groups & Files" list.
This worked at least as far back as Xcode 2.*, and I just confirmed
it works in Xcode 3.0. I haven't checked it in 3.1, but I have no
reason to think it would fail.
If by "rename project" you mean "rename all the targets and products"
then that does take some additional action. However, all these can
be performed within Xcode itself, using the usual manual gestures
Both the click-twice gesture (same as Finder) and the contextual-
click gesture will let you rename items under Targets or
Executables. The same gestures work to rename any groups.
Renaming a build product should usually be done by changing the
Product Name build setting for the target. You can do that manually
in the Target Info window, or you can do it in a .xcconfig file,
IIRC. The contextual-menu on a build product under "Groups & Files"
has a Rename item, but I haven't tried this to see how it affects the
build settings.
You can do all these things without diving into "a pile of
configuration files". If you decide to go the .xcconfig file route,
you have to edit the .xcconfig file, but I don't consider 1 config-
file a "pile". You can get more info on xcconfig files by googling
the term.
If there are other specific things you need to rename, please be
specific about what they are. It could be simpler than you think.
