Change Company Name in Xcode

Posted on February 1, 2009 by John Muchow in Xcode

Although covered many other places on the net, I recently had to make a change to the name that Xcode automagically inserts when creating new files, so I figured I’d also pass on this tip to readers of this blog as well.

By default, Xcode inserts a company name something similar to the following in all new source files (.m .h etc):

Copyright (c) 2009 MyCompanyName. All rights reserved.

Changing this reference is as simple as entering the following from within a terminal window, replacing “YourNameHere” with the text you prefer. Also, make sure this is all entered on one line in the terminal.

defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions 
   '{ORGANIZATIONNAME="YourNameHere";}'

Or go to AppleMenu > SystemPreferences > Accounts > Address Book Card and fill in your CompanyName.

Thanks for the tip! I drove myself crazy trying to figure that one out. (Yes, I’m a newbie.)

Florian says a nice way
i tried the followed way
defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions
‘{ORGANIZATIONNAME=”YourNameHere”;}’

but it will display “your company name + 2010″
it’s not a normal

do as Florian says
it will display 2010+yourCompanyName
