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 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.
I currently have an app which is in the iOS store, but in the new version I am wanting to change the entire name of the app with the upcoming update, with this what will I need to update?
The only things I can think of is the bundle ID & name in the developer centre, is that all?
No need to change the bundle ID since it's the same app.
I would suggest changing the name in the developer center, AND changing the "Bundle display name" in the plist. This will affect the name in the appstore as well as the name displayed under the app icon once it's installed on a device.
To change Bundle display name: Go to targets and select target. Select "Info" section. Under "Custom iOS target properties", add a new key with the name Bundle display name. Set value to new name.
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.
