Naming an App with a number.

Hey Guys, Great work btw, I'm loving building Apps with Buzztouch and I'm so excited for 1.5! This is sort of a two part question. I'd like to name my App 101 Tips & Tricks and I'm split between doing several of these for different topics or making one with In-App purchases for different versions if that becomes a possibility. However, when I name my App 101 something I get tons of errors because the 101 portion thinks it's some sort of code integer. Is there any way to adjust this? The second part of the question is if there's anyway to have the long name and a short name. I've seen Apps called things like Ultimate Guitar Tabs but the name under the icon on the iPhone is simply Tabs. I've looked through all the code which unfortunately makes me go cross-eyed and I can't find anything. Thoughts? Thanks so much for all your hard work guys! We all truly appreciate it! Matt

I would do this... a) Name your app in the control panel without special characters, numbers, etc. Like you said, numbers and other characters don't play nice in Xcode or Eclipse. So... name them in buzztouch with letters only. b) After downloading the source (without errors because the buzztouch backend built your projects with good names) adjust the name the consumers will see within Xcode or Eclipse. For Xcode, the name under the icon is the CFBundleDisplay name in the info.plist file. Change this in Xcode.... For Android, the name in strings.xml is used by Android. Look in res/values/strings.xml you'll see the App. Name
