How to change app display name in Xcode 8 to add a space

Tags:

I am trying to put a space in my app name (standalone sticker pack) in Xcode 8. The solutions I've seen on here are to change the Product Name (in packaging) or to change the "Bundle Display Name".

I've changed the product name and that hasn't worked (I cleaned, rebuilt, reset content and settings in simulator and logged out of xcode, logged back in and rebuilt app).

I can't see "Bundle Display Name" anywhere. Should I add it and if so, how do I do that?

I've read the thread How to change the name of an iOS app? and done the suggestions, but it's still showing in simulator and testflight without the space. Have I missed something?

Can we change app name in IOS?

If the name change is significant but the functionality is not changing significantly, then the App Store won't have an issue. But if the app has been released, and the name change is significant and the functionality is significantly different, then the App Store will tell you to submit under a new bundle ID.

How many characters is an app name?

The Android platform has similar length limitations — approximately 12 characters, including spaces, carefully tested, is probably prudent.

Steps:

1. Open project Info.

2. Add a property Bundle display name into Custom iOS Target Properties. (as "Key")

3. Enter the display name, that will be shown on iPhone/iPad screen under an app icon. (as "Value")

It's my solution that works properly. Also you should delete previously installed app and reinstall it. Solution

Just go to Target -> General -> In Identity -> Display Name. By default, it has your app display name which is unhighlighted. Enter here your new app display name.
