Rename in XCode wrtting C++

Question

when i choose file, and find refactor->rename, it indicate Xcode can only refactor C or Object-C code. is that mean i can never change my file name?

Of course, if i directly change file name in disk, that will give me error.

Answer 1

To rename a C++ file in Xcode as of version 9 you can either

• slow press a file twice and rename it the old fashion way (@Karthik)
• Have the file selected at the left pane and hit tab or enter

You have to fix all the references yourself after renaming C++ files.

Answer 2

You can certainly change it the old fashioned way. Slow double tapping a file name in the Project tree lets me rename it. After that you just need to fix all references to this file (compile -> fix errors) and you are done.
