Does an app's bundle name must match the name in the Apple App store? For instance, for Angry Birds, there is "Angry Birds" and "Angry Birds Seasons" in the app store, however when installed on the device, the names of both apps are displayed as "Angry Birds".
Any suggestions? Thanks.

An App ID is a string used to identify one or more apps from a single development team. The string consists of two parts, the Team ID and the bundle ID separated by a period (.). The Team ID is supplied by Apple, while the bundle ID is supplied by the developer.
App bundles make it easy for customers to buy up to 10 of your apps or games in a single purchase. You can create app bundles for paid apps or free apps that offer an auto-renewable subscription to access all apps in the bundle. Learn how to set up app bundles and effectively market them on your product page.
App bundles are publishing format, whereas APK (Android application Package) is the packaging format which eventually will be installed on device. Google uses app bundle to generate and serve optimized APKs for each user's device configuration, so they download only the code and resources they need to run your app.
If you go to the App Store (which is not an abbreviation for Apple Store), you are searching for apps to download and run on your iPhone.. ie a weather app that you can open and check your local forecast. If you go to the Apple Store, you can shop for a new iPhone, a new iPad, a new MacBook.. accessories.
No, a bundle name doesn't need to match the App Store name. The main reason for this is you only get between 11-14ish characters for your app name on device before it gets clipped by the system. On the app store this limitation doesn't exist. In your main app .plist file your app name (the name that displays under your icon) is you bundle display name. Bundle display names do not need to be unique (hence why Angry Birds Seasons & Angry Birds both use 'Angry Birds' as their display names), but your app store name obviously does!
