iOS - Change App Name for Homescreen and Spotlight
ios, spotlight
Solution
Your app can have two names:
- Bundle Display Name, which is the name that is displayed on the home screen (Springboard)
- iTunes Connect name, which is the name you give apple when you submit your app to the Appstore
Spotlight indexes both names for search. so you can have the longer name as your iTunesConnect name and the shortened version on the bundle display name. And both will be searchable.
Problem
I'm working on a new iOS App, and it has a pretty long name, so I display a shortened version on the homescreen by chaing the `Bundle Display Name` value in the `Info.plist` file. However, I want to display the full name when the user searches for it through spotlight. How can I implement this? Thanks
