Objective-c – iTunes Connect App Name vs. Bundle Display name in info.plist

Here's some instructions:

• Create a new empty file called InfoPlist.strings
• Open up the Navigator (cmd-opt-0) and select the first pane
• Click the plus for a localization
• Xcode (4.3) goes a bit funny and deselects your file. It's placed it into a localization folder (probably called en.lproj in the item's original folder. Re-select it in the Project Navigator.
• Your file now has (probably) English in the Localization list. Click the plus button to add another language.

It's generally good to start with all the items you want to localize in the same folder, that way when they get localized, Xcode doesn't create a whole bunch of en.lproj and ja.lproj files all over your project. Call it something like "Localized Resources".

You can localize the app name now by adding the localized name to each file like this (for the French localized file):

"CFBundleDisplayName" = "Bonjour";

The name on the App. Store is set when you submit the app, on the Apple webpage, not in code.

To change the name on the Springboard modify the Info.plist changing Bundle Display Name property from ${PRODUCT_NAME} to the desired name.
