I'm not sure where you're looking for Rswitch but it's here:

If you are suggesting renaming R.app, I don't think that will
accomplish what you want. Try Rswitch.

Incidentaly, all RSwitch does is create a symbolic link from the
version you selected to "Current" in
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions.
If you are more comfortable using the command line to do this, you can.
