I've integrated a Game Center Leaderboard into my game, but after I started working on it, I decided to change the name of the game.
I have successfully changed the leaderboard to reflect the name change, but the header/title on the Game Center/Leaderboard view is still showing my old app name.
Google searches suggest it's not ideal to change the bundle ID or project name as this can have other repercussions, so I have just changed the Product Name which has worked in displaying the correct name everywhere else but here.
The only thing still called "SKLab1" is my project. Does anyone know if this is the only way to change this header?
I haven't been able to find any similar issues that point to where this header is derived from.
Also, apologies as my reputation is too low to post an actual photo! Link below.
Thank you in advance!!
Leaderboard screen with wrong App name as header

I want to change the name of my app only as it appears on the user's home screen. The old app name can remain in place on the App Store, in iTunes Connect, in Xcode, wherever else. I want to make this change only for certain users. When the code determines conditions are met, the user's app name should change. Is it possible to do this and if so, how?
EDIT:
To clarify my reason, this is for a game where a "deep secret" of the game would be hinted at by the game's title. I want to hide the hint by using an acronym for the title until the player has revealed the secret in-game. At which point I would change the app's title to reveal the full game title.
Afaik you can only change the display name in your ...-Info.plist file. However, you can have different display names for your app by localising that file, but that would only give you different names based on the language, not the user.
For more Information see Updating the display name of your app
What you can do:
Option 1: Setup different schemes for each user environments and compile one app for each possible type of user
Option 2: Create an app internal home screen and let the user select the more specific app there
Option 3: Don't change the display name, but change the color schemes and logos in the app (I have seen this in some apps)
I have recently started to use FireBase to see how it works, as a possible replacement (at least in some cases) for Parse.com.
Here I have a few questions related to that.
1) I noticed from start that an app was automatically built for me. Am I allowed to change its name?
2) I now would like to create a second app. Is that possible or do I need to upgrade my account? Or how do I do? I can see no place in the dashboard for that purpose.
Thanks in advance for any useful indication.
To answer your questions:
You can change the name but not the url of you app. In your dashboard click on the cogwheel next to the name of your app, in the menu that pops up there is an option to change the name.
You can create a second app by simply filling in a name in the gray field on the left and click "CREATE NEW APP"
I am trying to update my game from 1.0 to 1.1 but get this error:
"Application is missing a default group leaderboard (ItunesConnect error)"
image:
I also can't save anything, when I try to i Get this error:
There was an error saving changes. Please try again later or contact App Store Developer Support.
I already contacted Apple Support but they didn't know what it was. they are investigating but it takes really long.
Did anyone else ever experienced this?
Yi Yuans Answer is correct, unf. I am to noob to upvote it. That's exactly what Apple recommended to me in the same situation by pointing out the Game Center configuration manual.
I thought they are mad, as I did set the default Leaderboard before, and was unable to make any other configuration change stick. But I tried it anyway and it fixed the problem:
Go to 'MyApps' page (The overview page).
Click the three dots/ellipticals next to the Add App (+) symbol.
Click 'Game Center Groups'.
Pick the group in question.
Click the empty space under "default leaderboard".
Pick your default leaderboard.
Click 'Done'.
I have same error, now is OK, by steps:
1, iTunes Connect -> my App -> error App -> Click Game Center
2, default leaderboard, Click Blank place, see Screenshot.

We're having the same issue when trying to update the description of an app. We have Achievements for this app but intentionally did not create a leaderboard for it. Now we're getting the same error about missing a default leaderboard. I've sent the info to Apple, awaiting a response.
I have been getting this error for days. Is there an official solution? What are the consequences of moving the leaderboards to a group?
What I am trying to accomplish with my app is if a user clicks on a contact name in my app. I want to directly launch the selected contact in a new view, but using the standard ios contact view. Is this possible? If so how can it be accomplished? I can't seem to find any URL Scheme for the contacts app if one does indeed exist that is.
Look at the Address Book UI framework documentation, please.
By the way, using this framework is a very good idea i.e. "the standard iOS contact view", because trying to reproduce this view and all its functionality yourself would be, shall we say, challenging.
I'm trying to create a leaderboard for my game. Unfortunately, after following iTunes connect's instructions and filling out the leaderboard and 1 language specification for the leaderboard, the Save Button simply refreshes the screen with the edit data but no leaderboard is created.
Am I out of my mind? Am I missing a critical piece of information?
1) Created bundle App Id
2) Created App in iTunes Connect
3) Enabled Game Center
4) Went to Game Center to edit leaderboards
5) Add New Leaderboard (Single Leaderboard)
6) Fill out form
7) All aboard the fail boat. (Does not actually save and create the leaderboard but just refreshes the page)
Just in case someone else stumbles upon this...
I had the same greyed out 'save' button and the reason was that i have only set the minimal value for the leaderboard score and left the maximum empty. I was under the impression that the number displayed below the box means it will be used. I had to copy it into the box and it fixed the problem.
Damn Apple could add some opoup/tip to that page
I found the problem. Apparently you can't have a dash in your leaderboard name. However, no error comes up in the dialog. Bah!
