My App is still developing, I can't find anywhere to change CloudKit container's displayName.. Please help me.
Apple uses your app's display name for this iCloud setting. This is not the same thing as your CloudKit container identifier (which is usually something like iCloud.com.CartDataSync anyway).
To change this, go to your project settings in Xcode, select your iOS target, and then change the Display Name at the top.
If that doesn't affect it, in Xcode go to your Build Settings > Packaging > Product Name and see if you are overriding the default name there.

I can't seem to find where to set the product name of my apple watch app. I do see the option Product Name, but updating it doesn't do anything. Also do not see anything in the documentation
To get your app name to display properly in the Apple Watch app on iPhone, note that Apple screwed up and used the wrong key.
You must set CFBundleName to the same string as your CFBundleDisplayName in your iPhone target's Info.plist (not any other target).
That key can also be edited via the "Custom iOS Target Properties" editor. This is especially important if your app name has a space in it but your target name doesn't.
I wasted a whole Saturday tracking this bug down. So hopefully this will help someone!
First of all App's display name is different than Product Name.
How to change App's display name:
Find the Info.plist file that is located in your WatchKit App folder and change the key "Bundle display name" (CFBundleDisplayName).
How to change Product Name:
I am not sure why xCode does't allow to set the Product Name when creating a new WatchKit app.
If you search for "PRODUCT_NAME", you will find that the WatchKit app is using the TARGET_NAME as product name "PRODUCT_NAME = $(TARGET_NAME)" for the WatchKit app.
So you can just rename the target name.
Hope this helps.
I have developed an iOS app, and it was already put into Apple Store. Now I want to change the name of my application.
What are the things I need to consider & update in my xcode project if I want to replace the current app in Apple Store with the new named app?
Update:
I'd like to not only change name in Apple store but also change the name in project level
Why are you trying to replace your App ? For just changing the Name ? You don't need to do any thing in your Xcode Project or replace your app. Simply follow these Steps and your App Name will be changed.
Take a look at : change app name in App Store.
Update : If you simply want to change the name of your Xcode Project then it's a simple 3 Step Process :
Go to Targets in Xcode
Go to Build Setting on your project's Target.
Search for Product Name under Packaging. Change the value of that what you want the new program name is going to be.
you can change "bundle display name" in info.plist to change the app icon name.
To change the name on Appstore there's already a post on stackoverflow: change app name in App Store
I had made a settings.bundle file in my project with some attributes in it. It was working fine and I could find all attributes in device's "Settings" app until I moved the file from one folder to another in my project hierarchy. Now, "Settings" app does show my app name in it, but there are no attributes in it.
Edit:
I have cleaned, build my project several times. Also deleted app from device, reinstalled it but the problem is still there.
I need to know the problem and reason why it has happened.
Thanks in advance.
You can't put the Settings bundle wherever you want. It needs to be in the top level diretory of your app's bundle.
from the manual:
A Settings bundle has the name Settings.bundle and resides in the
top-level directory of your app’s bundle.
the name of my application is a bit large due to which all of it is not visible when i install it on my iPhone so i was thinking of changing the bundle name to a smaller text...but i want the original app name to appear in on Apple Store as it is...can i use a different name for apple store then bundle name on Xcode file while uploading my application on iTunes Connect??
You can change the name of the application on the AppStore in the "Manage Your Applications" section of iTunes Connect, clicking on "Manage Localizations". This way you can translate the name of the app in different languages.
If you need to change the name of the Application as it appears on the iPhone's home screen, you need to do it in the Target configuration, not the project configuration. Expand the Targets group in Xcode, then single-click the item under that. It should share the name of your project, which is also the default name of the application that gets generated.
Press command-I to bring up the Info window, then navigate to the Build tag. Set the Configuration drop-down to read All Configurations, then look for a setting called Product Name under the Packaging heading. Change that value to the name you want for your compiled applications.
NOTE: In iTunes Connect you can't change the app name if its either already been approved or is currently in review. To change the name, you must submit a new version of your app.
Whatever you name your binary while building is what it will show up as on the iPhone. Look for "Product Name" in the Target's build settings.
I'm having trouble getting the Application Identifier or Bundle Identifier set up. In my distribution profile, I have included the identifier "com.., and then copied it exactly into the the app's Info.plist file under "Bundle Identifier". In the past, this has done the trick, but now I'm getting the error
Provisioning profile 'irow beta' specificies the identifier 'com..' which doesn't match the current setting 'com.yourcompany.***.
So it seems that its somehow still using the default of com.yourcompany.APPLICATION_NAME, but it shouldn't after I have changed it in the Info.plist, right?
I think this means that xcode isn't recognizing that PLIST for some reason, because when I change the name of the icon file, for example, or other such attributes, nothing changes. If this is the problem, how do I make xcode recognize the PLIST?
Thanks,
James
I'm sure, that if you'll go in xcode to your target->properties and change it there, it will catch, so the icon. Probably the plist you're trying to change doesn't appear in build settings of a certain target, that's why you don't see the change.
