Thanks, Munny1 Title Comments Hi, I was wondering how to change the name of the app in Xcode because the project name I have is too large to fit under the icon. Thanks, Munny1

That's where the icon display name goes. You can also change that from within Xcode as well.

Also, just as a side note, the file was not called BT_Config.plist but BT_info.plist - however, they both contain the same information. Regards, Munny1 Comments Thanks Mark.

Pretty close, though, considering I was doing it from memory! Mark Comments You are indeed correct! Pretty close, though, considering I was doing it from memory! Mark

munny1 Veteran developer Posts: 176 Reg: Jun 20, 2012 Earth 8,010	06/23/12 05:33 AM (13 years ago) Pretty good, considering you were using memory! By the way, I had another quick question. My app is for coffee recipes so I would like the name under the icon to be "Coffee Recipes". Is it possible to do this so the full name appears, instead of the ellipsis (...) appearing?

Unfortunately you'll have to figure a way to shorten it up. Mark Comments Hi, If you're seeing ellipsis when using that name, then it's too long.

I realized that I was going to put more than just recipes so I will change the name accordingly. Munny1 Comments Okay, thanks.

Shacksy Apple Fan Posts: 33 Reg: Sep 07, 2011 Faversham 1,980	07/10/12 05:01 AM (13 years ago) I believe the maximum length for app names under icons is 13. This includes blank spaces. Maybe try leaving the space out and see how that looks Comments I believe the maximum length for app names under icons is 13. This includes blank spaces.
