Old Name Used in Source Code Download

I started making a new app and gave it a name. Decided to change the name which I did. However, when I download the source code, the file is under the old name and the AppDelegate files also have the old name. Any way to fix this or do I even have to? Thanks

I don't believe it is important, matching with iTunes name is what counts in the end.

It seems to work but the only thing I don't like is Xcode uses the old name and I don't like looking at it. Any way out of this? I can't even delete the app and restart if I wanted to.

Not on laptop right now but can't you define it in project info? Will have a look for where you change it when I'm on laptop or someone else will chime in.

Go to the app core properties and change the app's name just below the package name. But if Xcode is like Eclipse the Buzztouch app's name is meaningless. What's published is what's important. You could / should be able to reset that after you download the source code. Fred

Fred, Didn't notice that package name option. That should do it though I already just started a new app with the correct name so no need any more. I wish BT would come up with a way to delete apps just to make my app page a little neater since I've created some test apps in the past and would like them gone.

Did that for me, too. Then I looked closely at the config.txt file, and some of the nicknames were old names, when the screen name was new. That's why I don't like the menu structure here.
