iOS How to Change your apps Name

[hoosierfan24]

Hello I finished my app now and I want to to change the name of the app from the name i originally started with I changed the name of the xcode project but the app name below its picture in the iphone simulator is still the same as it was before and when i changed something in the info.plst file there was no title below the app so does anyone know how to change the name of the app so it appears with its new name below its logo?

In Xcode double-click the Target.

Select the "Build" tab

Perhaps select "All Configurations" from the "Configuration" pop-up
menu

Search for the "Product Name" field and change it as desired.

There are at least 8 places to put an app name:

project name
target name
product file name
name in the source code comments
name(s) you put on the app's splash screen, help dialog, etc.
as part of the reverse URL app ID
bundle display name
App store name

I've seen apps where all of these are completely different.

There is a "Bundle display name" property in Info.plist. That's the name that will appear below the application icon.

Ok So I changed it under the product name location to what I want it to be called but it didnt update in the iphone simulator, will it update on its own time ?

The product name will only change the binary name. You need to change the bundle display name in the plist.

thanks it works now

The product name will only change the binary name. You need to change the bundle display name in the plist.

Even if the bundle display name is ${PRODUCT_NAME}?
