I want to rename PC-PT PC 2 to only PC01. How do I do that? Or maybe there's a way to put the device with the automatic name PC01? Because I can't find it.

I want to change the keyboard language programatically for my XCUITests to try various different keyboards. I've tried:
XCUIApplication().launchArguments += ["-AppleLanguages", "(fr)"]
XCUIApplication().launchArguments += ["-AppleLocale", "fr_FR"]
But this only changes language and locale, but it still keeps simulator default keyboard. I know I could probably do it by going to the settings app (inside of the UITest) and just change keyboard, but I'd like to do it as an input argument or similar.
I also don't want to have all keyboard languages installed on the simulator at the same time, only the one language I choose.
How can I accomplish this?
Since you do it in Simulator, you can access the entire macOS disk space, including Simulator support files.
Each simulator has its own setting located in
$HOME/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/SIMULATOR_ID/data/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
In this file, you can change AppleKeyboards programmatically.
New path for .plist file to change properties of keyboard from Roman Zakharov's answer:
/Users/YOUR_USER/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/YOUR_SIMULATOR_ID/data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboard.preferences.plist
Simulator ID can be found from Xcode: Window -> Devices and Simulators -> Simulators. The Identifier value is the UDID.
I have two apps which are 90% same.So I have used the same code and renamed it in xcode.After that I have installed it in my device.So it is giving the previous appname not the new name.So Kindly tell me.Let me know if you need any more details.
If you are refering to the label inside the app icon in the springboard (the iPhone "desktop") , you will need to open the YourApp-Info.plist (located, usually, in Supporting Files) and change the value for Bundle display name (or CFBundleDisplayName).
go to your Xcode project, select the desired target, click on "Build settings" and look for "Product Name", now enter the new desired name.
To change the name of the app on the iOS home screen, you need to change the CFBundleDisplayName key in your app's Info.plist file.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009249-110725-TPXREF135
As everyone say, the bundle display name is the name displayed on your device.
You might want to change the bundle identifier too, but it's for corresponding to your provisionning profiles and to be posted on another identifier on the app store.
You might want to rename your Xcode project, I found yesterday a way to do this easily: click on your project name (on left panel), go on the right panel (open it if not) and change the "project name" textfield. it will ask you to rename lot of files automatically.
Finally, have you considered to create a new target, instead of creating a new project ? If the differences are just images and nib file, you can duplicate an app easily, this way.
Is there a way to set the current user location in iPhone simulator on Xcode 4?, I want the simulator to show a different location other than Cupertino.
Yes, from the simulator's menu choose Debug > Location > Custom Location....
You can Simulate Location by selecting
Product -> Debug -> Simulate Location and select Location option from Xcode tool.
This is shown in following figure:
You can add GPX file to get the current location on simulator.
I want to change the name which is displayed below the app icon on the iPhone screen.
I use Xcode 4 and I have one target with keys:
Bundle display name : ${PRODUCT_NAME}
Bundle name : ${PRODUCT_NAME}
What I want, my project name is for example "test" but I want to have "MySuperApp".
So, where can I change it best? Is there a place where I can change ${PRODUCT_NAME}?
Are there any other places where I have to change it?
Answer without file rename
Note that an answer that does not require file rename is below.
Answer with file rename
OK, here is what I found, took me a bit of hunting after reading this post, so hopefully this answer will help everyone:
1.In the project contents pane at left, click the Folder icon.
2.Select the top-level blue line representing the project.
3.If you don't have the Inspector pane (right pane) open, click the button to enable it. This is the third button in the "View" toolbar towards the upper right corner.
4.In the Inspector pane, click the little folded-corner paper (file properties) icon.
5.First thing is Project Name. Type in a new one, you will be prompted to rename project content files.
I should add, this will leave your old app with the original name in the simulator, so you still need to delete it from the simulator. Also any files you created in the old app bundle will not be brought forward to the new bundle (unless you find them in Finder and move them over).
(EDIT:) One more important note. Renaming your bundle will mean that the App Bundle Identifier you registered with Apple Provisioning Portal will no longer work for that app. You will need to generate a new App ID and Provisioning Profile in order to distribute your app to a physical device.
In Xcode 4, select your target, "Info" tab, and set the "Bundle display name" field to the name you want (i.e. "MySuperApp"). This is the simplest, pain-free solution.
All other answers described here do not address the original posted issue: "I want to change the name which is displayed below the app icon on the iPhone screen." The upvoted answers of: Woody, Jay, and youshunei are OK but they will all change the displayed name AND either:
A) change your App Bundle Identifier and cause an incompatibility between your app and the Bundle Identifier you registered with the Apple Provisioning Portal (which is a problem if you have already distributed your app or intend to submit the app)
OR
B) result in scheme issues that others have mentioned (i.e. needing to delete/re-create existing schemes)
Change it in the build tab of the targets settings page
As clarification: select targets, select the target you are building, get info, select the build tab, write 'product name' in the search box, and change it there.
On Xcode 4, you click on TARGETS name 2 times (not doubclick), change name and restart Xcode. It's worked for me, that's simple.
You want to change the Bundle Display Name in your project.plist.
Bundle display name : ${PRODUCT_NAME}
should be changed to
Bundle display name : MySuperApp
This changes the label of the icon in iOS without actually changing the app identifiers.
If you just change the bundle display name, you won't need to set up a new app id and provisioning profiles.
Making the product name change:
Double click the name right under "Targets" and modify the target name to whatever you want.
Checking if the change has been made:
Click on "Target" and on the right hand side search for "Product Name" under "Build Settings". The displayed value of the product name should reflect your change. If not, double click on that name to make sure it's being set to $(TARGET_NAME).
Select Project
Select Target and single click to edit and rename and you're done
You can see the product name gets changed
Here the snap for these 3 steps
Edited:
I've noticed the similar answer with image attachment by youshunei after my post. So, I would add a bit more information here that I've tested it on Xcode 6.3.2 and it doesn't need any restart.
Edited:
When I renamed one of my Mac OS X app which contains comma in its name the same way. I got missing file (name trimmed up-to comma) in some pod linking library. So, I have to rename my app at Target -> Build Settings -> Product Name
To change the name of the app if it has been customized:
Project info -> Targets (click on app icon entry) -> Build Settings -> Product Name
In recent versions of XCode (I am on 4.3.2 currently), $(PRODUCT_NAME) is set to $(TARGET_NAME) which defaults to the name of the project directory (no don't change the directory name).
Solution: Click on the file navigator. Click on your blue project icon. Look for the TARGETS list (under the PROJECT list). Hover-click your target; then rename it to your product name.
Aside: If you are having code-signing problems, I found that deleting, revoking, and regenerating all certificates/keys, and profiles fixed my problem. I tried everything else first!
One thing that seemed to help when I went through this is in Xcode 4 is that it appeared to be necessary to delete all the schemes. Prior to this it seemed that although the app would be compiled under its new name, it'd be as the old name in the simulator. However, I did do other desperate measures like re-start xcode and delete the app out of the simulator folder so it's hard to be certain that deleting the schemes was the key.
The issue I was having was that I have multiple Info.plist files in my Xcode project. In order to ensure I had the right one which contains the Product Name, I moved the existing Info.plist temporarily to force Xcode to allow me to choose another one. Since Info.plist is not part of a target, but part of the Project configuration, this was the only way I could find to do this.
I've been a bit stupid and built my app as being targeted for both iPhone and iPad, whereas it should really just be for the iPhone.
How do I change the settings so that the build is only for the iPhone? I've actually finished coding the app and ready to submit it, so hopefully it's just a case of changing some obscure project settings (as opposed to creating a new project and coping all the code over).
Thanks St.Ov.!
You have to change the Targeted device family. Select the project, then info-->Deployment--->Targeted device family to iPhone only and you have to do the same thing in targets. After that your app will be only for iPhone.
Good Luck!
U can do this by going through the following steps.
Select Edit Project settings from Projects .
Go to build settings.
Select Targeted Device Family and Choose iPhone.
That should do it.
Have fun.
For Xcode 5.1.1:
Select your project and then go to:
General->Deployment Info -> Devices
and then select just iPhone
In XCode 9.4.1
Project Navigator -> Select Project
General -> Deployment Info
Devices -> iPhone
Project -> Edit Project Settings -> Build -> Targeted Device Family = iPhone
Open "[project]-Info.plist" and change "Main nib file base name (iPad)" in "MainWindow_iPhone"
I hope this helps :-)
For Xcode 4.2:
Select the project navigator (little folder icon in the top left), then select your project (the top most item)
Move across to the next column, select the appropriate target
Move across to the next column, select the summary tab
Select iphone from the devices dropdown.
