Where Could I set the application name that user see in home screen, under the application icon.
Add the following line to the InfoPlist.strings file:
CFBundleDisplayName = "My Great App";
The advantage of this method (as opposed to the entry in Info.plist) is that you can provide localized app name for several locales.
Set "Bundle display name" in the Info.plist or your App settings file.

Let's say I have an iOS app entitled "The Most Awesome iOS App".
This is the actual name of my application. It is what I want to appear in local/push notification titles, in the Settings app, etc.
However, I'd like its home screen icon to have a simpler title, like "Awesome".
As is, you'll see something on the homescreen like "The...S App". Not very useful!
If I set CFBundleDisplayName to "Awesome" then the homescreen icon shows the correct title, but everything else also says "Awesome". If I set CFBundleName to "Awesome" it has the exact same effect even if BundleDisplayName is not set.
I definitely do have apps on my device which have settings page names and notifications with a long title, with abbreviated home screen titles, so I'm assuming this can be done. How can this be accomplished?
In your case, just change the "product name" in build setting
Hey~ hope you already solve your case. I just ass a helpful tutorial about your case. developer.apple.com/library/ios/qa/qa1823/_index.html –
Basically the tutorial says:
Add a property named "Bundle display name" in your Info.plist of your xcode project. Then set the name you what change in the value of the "Bundle display name" Key.
I tried it. And it works for my project
I've added custom file type ".hex" for my app and associated it with my app (followed this tutorial).
Anyway when testing in email app (long tap on attached file) "open in" menu is shown and my app icon is shown but no my app name appended:
If tap "Quick Look" i can see provided by me file type description, so i'm sure file type icon and description is used as expected. Also i can tap my app icon and application:openURL:sourceApplication:annotation will be invoked as expected.
My app icon and name is shown in apps list as usual. Testing on iPad 2 on iOS 7.1.
I'm guessing that you need to add a "Bundle Display Name" (CFBundleDisplayName) key to your Info.plist file.
I am trying to add a plist file to the Settings.bundle in my iOS project programmatically. How would I go about doing this?
I used Apple's API to find where to put a created plist file to see if the Settings.bundle would check there for a plist file but it doesn't recognize it and the child pane goes to a blank screen instead of showing the settings.
The reason for this is based on the user logging in to my app I want to have different settings show in the Settings App
You don't. Settings.bundle is supposed to be created at compile time, and is fixed (as well as signed as part of the application build process.)
See the Settings.bundle documentation which explicitly states (emphasis added):
A Settings bundle has the name Settings.bundle and resides in the top-level directory of your app’s bundle.
The emphasized part is what tells me you can't put the bundle anywhere else. This answer confirms what I just said.
Conditionally displayed settings are also not possible.
I don't think you can. The OS handles that independently, and you aren't allowed to run any code to affect it.
Instead, you are going to want to offer a settings screen within your app that allows full control over the presentation and function.
I have a strange problem with my application name: my project is called "something - somenumber" (with the dash).
For the submission, the App name I've chosen is without tje dash, infact, in the iTunes Store I can see the name without it.
But when I download my approved App, the name is with the dash..
Have you ever heard something similar???
Is this a problem with the new SDK and IOS version?
Now the name has to coincide with project name???
Thanks
By default, the Bundle display name in the Info.plist of iOS apps is ${PRODUCT_NAME}. ${PRODUCT_NAME}, by default, is the same as the project name, which in your case has a dash. The Bundle display name is the text that gets displayed under your app's icon in the device's home screen. This could be the reason why you can see the dash when you download the app.
You should change the CFBundleDisplayName in the apps Info plist file. This value is what the iOS spring board uses underneath each app. This can also be localised.
.bundle identifier is for the provisioning profile.
My app name is "TheTestApp". My requirement is my app name should be like this "Test's app". Is it possible? When install on device it should show "Test's app". How to achieve this in Blackberry?
Edit your BlackBerry_App_Descriptor and change the Title. If you're using an internationalization bundle change whatever String "Title ID" is pointing to
Open BlackBerry_App_Descriptor
In Packaging tag, set the value of OutputFileName to whatever you want
Rebuild
And if you want to change the title appearing to the user under app icon, change the value of Title in General tag.
If you are using Eclipse, opening BlackBerry_App_Descriptor, you may find a tab called Build to change COD & ALX names via a graphical UI which has the same impact to the file and also a tab called Application where you can change the title.
