When you finally come to release your application after months of hard work, your might want to change the name of the application that appears on the iPhone springboard, and if you use it, the settings application.

To change the name of an iPhone application is very easy. Simply open the Xcode project, and then scroll down to the “Targets” section, which the the “Groups & Files” part of Xcode. Select the application’s target and “Get info” on it using cmd-i or ctrl clicking it, and select “Get Info” from the menu.

In the build section of the get info window, you need to change the “Product Name” value to whatever you want your application to be called. When you change this value make sure that the configuration pop up menu (at the top of the window) is set to “All Configurations”, so it takes effect in all of your builds.

For the change of name to take effect, simply clean your targets and rebuild your application.
