Where does iCloud source the app name that it displays in the iCloud preferences?
Settings.app > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Store > Documents & Data
System Preferences > iCloud > Manage ...
I know that iCloud will list an app as "Unknown" with a blank icon initially (and that did happen in my case), however my app is now appearing in this list by its 'internal' name rather than its 'pretty' name (the app update containing iCloud is not yet submitted so this is doubly strange).
My gut says that the name would be defined as part of the CFBundleDocumentTypes
or UTExportedTypeDeclarations
sections in my app's info.plist
but the name iCloud's using only appears in the UTI values there. Nor does the iCloud value match the app's CFBundleDisplayName
or the description attached to the App ID in the provisioning portal.
When you first set up iCloud on a device, iCloud storage is automatically turned on for certain apps. Some iCloud features are also turned on automatically. You can turn these on or off at any time and customize the settings for each device. See Set up iCloud on all your devices.
This issue seems to only have been present during development. Once the update (containing iCloud functionality) was released my app began to show up in the iCloud preferences under its CFBundleDisplayName
