Solution 1 - Xcode

This is in the Xcode documentation available from the "Help" menu. Choose "Help" > "Xcode Help", then enter "rename scheme" to find it. Here are the steps:

  1. Choose "Edit Scheme" from the "Product" menu.
  2. Click on the "Manage Schemes…" button
  3. Select the scheme whose name you wish to change
  4. Press the "Return" key

It will select the name of the scheme and allow you to edit it.

Solution 2 - Xcode

XCODE 9:

> Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme

Solution 3 - Xcode

You can remove them, then add them again with a new name.

Solution 4 - Xcode

The best way is to duplicate the scheme that works, but with the wrong name, use the new name, then delete the bad one.

Hit the gear-button near the plus-minus buttons new the lower left corner.
