Why does my new app override the old version on my dev device, and how can I make them separate?

I have opened a can of worms by using an old pre-built project as the foundation for a new one.

When I open the old project in the simulator or on a device, it uses images and settings from the new app that aren't even referenced or included in that original project. Even worse, when I download the old app from the app store, it overrides my new app on the test device. The device sees the two different apps as the same project still.

How can I make these apps completely separate from one another?

Before running your application, remove the older one from your phone/simulator

enter image description here

And if this is not an update for the old app, Then USE A DIFFERENT BUNDLE IDENTIFIER.

Also, before you run the app from Xcode, CLEAN, BUILD then RUN.

iOS usees the bundle identifier to uniquely identify an app. the display name is of no importance for the os.
