Sometimes we start a project and decide to change the app name later on. How to change app name for an iOS app in Xcode? One solution is to change the entire project’s name. This should work. However in my case what I want is actually simpler: I don’t want to change my project name but just the app’s name on phone.
It turns out this can be done quite easily:
- Left click on your project. Then click on the project name under “Targets”.
- Go to the “Info” tab (this is the content of info.plist, in case it’s clearer to you to put it this way)
- There should be an attribute “Bundle display name”. Replace the string there. You may have to add it if it’s not there.
This won’t change the bundle name itself but just the display name.
