Phonegap 3 ios project is called "HelloWorld". How can I change it?

Question

I have created a new Phonegap 3 project. When I run:

phonegap build ios

An XCode project is created named "HelloWorld". How can I change this project name? Should I do it manually or is there a command integrated in PhoneGap to setup everything right at the project creation? I am trying to avoid as many manual steps as possible.

Answer 1

If you want to change an existing project:

1. Edit the file ./.cordova/config.json Change the "name" field to your new project name.
2. Edit the file ./www/config.xml Change the "name" field to your new project name.
3. Make a copy of your ./platforms/ios directory (optional, only needed if you have modified the ios code directly)
4. Remove the ./platforms/ios directory.
5. Run "phonegap run ios"

This will create a new project with the correct name.

Answer 2

The solution was:

phonegap create path/to/my-app --id "com.example.app" --name "My App"

Answer 3

Change the config.xml from the main www directory

 <name>Here is the Name you want to change </name>

Now rebuild app with CLI

phonegap build ios 
phonegap install ios

OR

phonegap run ios

Answer 4

Open up your project >> From top menu "Project" >> "Edit Active Target " >> Under "Packaging" you'll see "Product Name".

Edit www/config.xml:

<widget xmlns     = "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
        xmlns:gap = "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
        id        = "your.app.id"
        version   = "1.0.0">
    <name>Here is the Name you want to change </name>
