Right-click on the class name in the interface ( . h ) file, choose Refactor->Rename , and Xcode will guide you through the process, allowing you to preview changes before you commit to them. Xcode will let you review the changes before you commit.
Select the project you want to rename in the “Project Navigator” which can be found on the left side of the Xcode view. On the right-hand side of the window, select the “File Inspector”. The name of your project should be in there under “Identity and Type”, change it to “NEW” and press Enter.
Highlight the code that you want to rename. right click and choose refactor -> rename .
Renaming Swift codeThe renaming refactoring option can be selected from the refactoring menu by right-clicking the piece of Swift code you want to rename. It will open a new edit overview which will show all the references which will be renamed across multiple files.
The safest way to rename files is to refactor the class name using Xcode's "Refactor" command. Using that command makes sure that your code is also updated anywhere that references the file or the class (including NIBs).
Right-click on the class name in the interface (.h) file, choose Refactor->Rename, and Xcode will guide you through the process, allowing you to preview changes before you commit to them.

You can also highlight the class name and use Xcode's Edit->Refactor menu, or even map it to a keyboard shortcut if you want.
If you actually want to rename the file without affecting any code, click on the name in the Navigator pane (left pane), wait a second, then click again. The name will be highlighted and you can type in a new one. You can also delete from the Navigator, rename the file in the Finder and re-add it to your project.
