Today, I wanted to change Company Name entry in new XCode 4.2 project file templates. If it’s not set for the project by default Organization Name appears as __MyCompanyName__.
Earlier it used to be read from either ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode.plist file Or using Address Book entry for company under current user logged in. So I was wondering why it doesn’t appear on new files I add to the project with XCode 4.2.
defaults write com.apple.Xcode PBXCustomTemplateMacroDefinitions -dict ORGANIZATIONNAME "CyberLMJ"
I had already added the ORGANIZATIONNAME key, but still had the default name in. Alternatively, I could have also changed the file templates in /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/File Templates or /Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/File Templates. But it seem to be not really easy or useful, as I just needed to change company name entry only.
Finally, I found out there’s a very easy way hidden or unseen for me for some reason with new XCode, added
Select the project and look for the right pane. View > Utilities > Show File Inspector [option + command + 1]. Organization entry is there available for each new project.

Thank you very much for sharing your observation. I encountered the same issue and appreciate finding your solution on the web
