Answer 1

The only way you can edit a App Name (assuming the app has been approved) is by creating a new version, at that point you can modify it.

Apple has removed the tables that once referenced what could be updated during what statuses. Now Apple has outlined exactly what CAN be change while the app is in the 'Ready for Sale' status. Anything else will require a new version to be created.

You can change the following store metadata while an app’s version has the “Ready for Sale” status:

• Copyright, Routing App Coverage File
• Description, What’s New in this Version
• Support URL, Marketing URL, and Privacy Policy URL
• App Store Contact Information Language support, including adding new languages and changing the default language
• EULA

After some confusion I managed to change my app name (while it was in status 'Prepare for Upload' - not sure if this works for other statuses):

1. Log in to Itunes Connect
2. Click "Manage applications"
3. Click on your app
4. Click "View details" under your current version
5. Click on Edit next to "Metadata and Uploads"

And then you can edit the name.

To rename existing application on App Store you can create New Version and then enter app-name in Name field.

This name will be displayed now as the name of your app on the App Store. This can't be longer than 255 characters.

Answer 5

There would be some confusion around that, the reason is that the name you put on the app store (on iTunesConnect) can be different from the name given within Xcode (under build settings)..

So if your app name is displayed properly on the app store, but when you download it, the name is different, it's because Apple doesn't apply the name given on iTunesConnect to the binary that people download..

Which means you have to recompile and reupload as new version..

The way to change your App 'Name' or 'Subtitle' seems to have changed slightly.

First need to create a 'new version' of your app, use the option: "+ VERSION OR PLATFORM" (shown in the image below), then after saving that new version, you can click on the "App Information" (shown in the image below), and in that form you now can edit the "Name" and "Subtitle" (which will both be reviewed by Apple before your new version if the app becomes available on the App store).

This new name and subtitle will be used for the new version of your app on the app store.
