IOS: setting a different icon name from app name?
Let's say I have an iOS app called "The Awesome iOS App".
This is the actual name of my application. This is what I want to show in the headers of local / push notifications, in the Settings app, etc.
However, I would like his home screen icon to have a simpler title like "Awesome".
As it is, you will see something on the home screen such as "The ... S App". Not very helpful!
If I set CFBundleDisplayName
to "Awesome" the desktop icon displays the correct title, but everything else says "Awesome" as well. If I set CFBundleName
to "Awesome" it has the same effect even if BundleDisplayName
not installed.
I definitely have apps on my device that have custom page names and long-header notifications with abbreviated home screen titles, so I guess this can be done. How can I do that?

In your case just change the "product name" in your build setting
Hey, I hope you have your case solved by now. I just suggested a helpful tutorial about your case. developer.apple.com/library/ios/qa/qa1823/_index.html -
Basically the tutorial says: Add a "Bundle Display Name" property to your Info.plist of your xcode project. Then set the name that you will change in the value of the "Bunch Display Name" key.
I tried. And this works for my project
