Getting an iPhone app's product name at runtime?

Question

How can this be achieved? I would like to get the name so i can display it within an app, without having to change it in code each time i change a name, of course.

According to Apple, using - objectForInfoDictionaryKey: directly on the NSBundle object is preferred:

Use of this method is preferred over other access methods because it returns the localized value of a key when one is available.

Here's an example in Swift:

let appName = NSBundle.mainBundle().objectForInfoDictionaryKey("CFBundleName") as! String
// Or use key "CFBundleDisplayName"

Update for Swift 3 - thanks Jef.

let appName = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "CFBundleName") as! String
