Class prefix in intentdefinition generated code

When adding an .intentdefinition file to Xcode (for my widget configuration) the classes it generates are prefixed with (in my case) HixField which is my company name.

• Where is this coming from? I did not enter this somewhere?
• I don't like this, can this prefix be safely removed?
• Why would this prefix be added? What is the reason for it?

My findings:

• if you select the file you can indeed set a custom class in the property inspector. But I am hesitant as there might be a reason for the prefix...
• if you open the .intentdefinition file I find this entry

<key>INIntentClassPrefix</key>
<string>HixField</string>

changing this to an empty string has no effect...

It comes from the Class Prefix setting on your Xcode project. Select your Xcode project and open the file inspector to change it.
