Get App Name in Swift

Question

How do I get the application name in Swift?

Googling gave me this:

[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@\"CFBundleName\"];


        

Answer 1

This should be more like what you are looking for:

let infoDictionary: NSDictionary = NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary as NSDictionary!
let appName: NSString = infoDictionary.objectForKey("CFBundleName") as NSString

NSLog("Name \(appName)")

There may still be a better way to do this but it at least returns the app name correctly in my very limited testing...

Answer 2

let bundleInfoDict: NSDictionary = NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary!
let appName = bundleInfoDict["CFBundleName"] as String

Answer 3

Try this one,

let bundleID = NSBundle.mainBundle().bundleIdentifier

Answer 4

This should work:

NSBundle.mainBundle().infoDictionary!["CFBundleName"] as! String

infoDictionary is declared as a var infoDictionary: [NSObject : AnyObject]! so you have to unwrap it, access it as a Swift dictionary (rather than use objectForKey), and, as the result is an AnyObject, cast it.

Update Swift 3 (Xcode 8 beta 2)

Always better to use constants where possible, too:

Bundle.main.infoDictionary![kCFBundleNameKey as String] as! String

Answer 5

Swift 4

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

Answer 6

let appDisplayName = Bundle.main.infoDictionary?["CFBundleName"] as? String

It's optional, so put it in if let or guard statement.
