Testet with WP Version: 5.7
But the Install instructions are wrong.
The File must be renamed to 'xmlrpc2.php'. Or you need to edit the plugin code.

It's simple. And it WORKS! This is how EVERY plugin should be. Well done!

Thanks a lot for this!
Rename your xmlrpc file to xmlrpc2 if you dont understand how to edit the plugin.
Works with WordPress 5.3.2!

I am having issues with the rename xmlrpc plugin.
Was able to get it to work but when I log in from my app, it doesn't refresh and was also unable to make a post.
Anyway round this? Or is it from my own end?

My host blocks xmlrpc but with this plugin I can use the WP iOS app again!
install instructions:
1. rename xmlrpc.php to xmlrpc2.php
2. activate plugin
or
1. rename xmlrpc.php to whatever.php
2. edit plugin source code to change the default xmlrpc2 filename to whatever
3. activate plugin
