Cannot find Bundle Display Name in Info.plist

If my app's product name was "AppName: Some Description", I just want "AppName" to show as a name underneath the app icon on iOS home screen. I did some searching and found this SO question (Change name of iPhone app in Xcode 4). I'm using Xcode 6 and I cannot find the Bundle Display Name in the Info.plist. Can someone please tell me how to do this in Xcode 6.

Thanks

Update:

Simply place your cursor to the Info.plist and click on the + button. Select "Bundle display name" and insert name in the value section.

To change the name appearing underneath your app icon, modify the CFBundleDisplayName key in your Info.plist.

  1. Click the disclosure triangle next to the "Supporting Files" subfolder to reveal its content.
  2. Select the Info.plist file to reveal a property list editor of keys and values.
  3. By default, Xcode displays a human-readable string of a key rather than its actual name. So, search the property list for "Bundle display name". Skip to step 5 if your property list already shows Bundle display name.

If it doesn't, add it to your list as follows:

  - Click on any entry in your list, then click the "+" button.
  - Choose Bundle display name from the ensuing pop-up menu.
  1. Double-click in the Value column of Bundle display name.

  2. Enter a new value for Bundle display name as shown in Figure

Bundle Name is what you have to set in the info.plist to display the name on the iOS home screen

Edit:

you still have bundle display name in xcode 6. Just add it in the info.plist
