I’ve made an app and have put in on the App Store, but for some reason the app name in the App Store does not show up after installing, instead it shows up the name that I created it with in Xcode. Why doesn’t the name that I named it for the App Store show up?
Example:
The bundle identifier is
com.companyname.namegive
The namegiven is showing up when installing it and not the name that shows up in the App Store.
The bundle display name (the name that displays under the app icon) and the name in the App Store are two different things. You can only change the bundle display name in your IDE (e.g. Xcode) and you can only change the name displayed in the App Store in iTunes Connect.

I sumbmitted an app of mine to the App Store. It has the correct name there which is good but when I download it the name of the app on my home screen is the name of the Bundle ID which is obviously not the proper one. How can I change the name so that it equals the name in the App Store?
Go to Info.plist and then change Bundle name like below will change app name that will show in home screen.
I have changed the bundle display name of my app and submitted the app on appstore.
Will it change it's name in the Appstore or not?
If my first app name was "XYZ" and now I have changed the display name in info.plist to "ABC", if I search my app in the AppStore, I want to find it as "ABC".
I've only changed the bundle display name, so is it ok or should I make other changes as well?
You can edit the App Store title of your App in iTunes Connect.
The display name defined in your plist is the title, which occurs on your home screen below your App icon.
I'm about to update my iOS app.
Previously it was called
GCSE Maths - Get A Better Grade
now it I have named my Xcode Project
The GCSE Maths App
and will upload this onto iTune Connect - is it OK to do this so long as they both have the same bundle identifier?
My worry is it will get rejected for having a different name.
Thanks!

No, App store will not reject your app, it is fine totally.
Bundle name can be change as you are updating new version. You can not change bundle identifier and application name. App store allows you to change the Display Name(Name just below the App Icon at app list in device).
If apple allowed to change Display Name while uploading new binary that means they haven't any issue. if they have issue then they wan't provide any option to change Display Name. if you used same bundle identifier then it will overwrite the app on iTunes Connect.
When I first created my app I've made a silly name.. i thought that the name of the app is the name I put on the App Store.
I was wrong. So when I change my Product Name in the Target>Build Settings>Packaging it changes my Bundle Identifier and make me unable to upload the new update for the app.
Any solutions?
you don't need to change your app bundle name (never do it), you have to change the bundle display name field on your project info
All you need to do is change the value of "Bundle Name" in your Info.plist to change the name of the app under your home screen icon.
You should change Bundle display name instead of Product name. This will change name of the app in the device. To change the name of app in the AppStore you should send an update
I just submitted an app to the App Store through Xcode. I set up the name in iTunes Connect, but I just realized that I was still using the working title in Xcode. Does this mean that when users download my app, the working title be shown beneath the app icon, or will the iTunes Connect title be used?
The "appName" on itunes connect will define the name displayed on the app store.
The name that will be under your app icon is the Product Name defined in xcode.
You can find it on Targets > YourProject > Build Settings > Packaging.
EDIT : changing the Bundle Display Name in your info.plist should do the work.
The Bundle Display Name in the app's plist is what is displayed under the icon. This display name can be changed independent of the project name, product name, or the Bundle ID suffix. The name displayed by the App Store is set in iTunes Connect, and can also be set independent from any of the other 4 or 5 "names" for an app.
