Moving Xcode Project and files to new folder in desktop

Question

This is a dumb question, but when I try to reorganize my xcode project and move everything to a new folder on my desktop, the project name turns red and is no longer working properly. How do I move my xcode files to the new folder in my desktop while having it work properly?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Moving the parent folder (with the Xcode closed) should be enough to work, but maybe your project are pointing a library o a file in a different location.

Check on your projects target in the Build Settings tab if there is some path pointing directly to some specific folder/file and modify it

Answer 2

xcode projects are executable.

-close current xcode project

-open project from new location by clicking .xcodeproj file

Answer 3

You can try closing the current xcode window and then reopening the project from the new location.
