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’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 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.
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.
I have a dumb app on the app store that yrs later I got contacted saying that a company wants the name of the app because they have a website with that name. I'm trying to change my app name to something else. So in ITC, I submitted the form for an update to the app with a new name for the app.
In Xcode, I tried updating everything with the new name. In Xcode 5, the only place I found I could do that was in the Product Name in build settings. That then changed my Bundle Identifier in the General section, as well as the name of the app on the iPhone home page. I created two new provisioning profiles for dev/release with that new name and I thought it was working fine until I tried to validate my archive and it said that I would have to submit a new app because the bundle ID doesn't match. But if my Bundle ID matches the old name of the app, then on the iPhone home screen, it will still say the old name and not the new name. Is there a way around submitting a new app in this case? Thanks.
All you need to do in your project is change the "Bundle Name" from ${PRODUCT_NAME} to whatever name you want to show under the icon. Don't change the actual PRODUCT_NAME value.
Then in iTunes Connect, add an update for your existing app and change the app's name.
Now submit the update. Done.
