Xcode: How do I change my project folders name, without having building problems?

Question

I would like to change the folder name where my Xcode project is in. But when I do that I can't build my project anymore. It shows me 2 errors that says:

Apple LLVM compiler 3.0 error file "project name-Prefix.pch" has been modified since the precompiled header was built

Any way to solve this?

Answer 1

Select Product > Clean from the Xcode menu.

Then try and build again by selecting Product > Build.

Your project should build without errors assuming that targets are correct.

Kind of a 'duh' solution to this. Thanks for the answer, worked perfectly. Should have known better. – Indulgent

Answer 2

Either you have replaced the code to some another machine. Try to commit the explicitly included import in the .PCH file. Compile it once on that specific machine. Now un-comment the those import lines and then compile the code again.

Answer 3

If you are trying to build project from terminal then

execute "$ xcodebuild clean " before execute the build command.

This will resolve the issue.
