'short name' for iOS apps possible?

Tags:

ios

truncation

I'd like to give my app one name for the App Store and one name that appears on the device, as app names that are too long are truncated with '…' on the device but not the store. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Is app short for Apple?

Apps—an abbreviation of the word "applications"—are software tools that provide additional functionality to an operating system. Apps can be created by any developer but must be approved by Apple in order to be sold in the App Store.

Do iOS app names have to be unique?

According to the App Store Review Guidelines, names can be anything so long as they are no more than 30 characters, do not infringe on copyright, and are unique.

The app name you specify in Xcode as the name of your project is the one that will appear on the device. The name in the app store is something you set later when you set up your project on iTunes Connect.

To change your homescreen app name, you can change the Bundle Display Name in your info.plist as Shubhank suggests, or you can just rename your project by clicking twice (two separate clicks - not a double-click) on the project name in the left hand sidebar of Xcode.

Yes..your app can have different name on device and on App store..

Naming your app on app store is kind of basic for an iOS developer.so i won't dive into that..

For on your device....in your project ..in your info.plist change the Bundle Display Name to what you want.
