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.

Answer 1

Good answers here. I would add one thing though.

Rather than using @"CFBundleDisplayName", which has the potential to change in future, it's best to cast the string constant supplied in CFBundle.h like so:

[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:(NSString*)kCFBundleNameKey];

Thus future-proofing your code.

Answer 2

You can use the direct approach,

NSString* appName = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName"];

Answer 3

Try this

NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSDictionary *info = [bundle infoDictionary];
NSString *prodName = [info objectForKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName"];

Answer 4

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

let displayName =  Bundle.main.infoDictionary?["CFBundleDisplayName"] as? String

Answer 5

Here is the Xamarin.iOS version of @epatel's answer:

var prodName = NSBundle.MainBundle.InfoDictionary.ObjectForKey(new NSString("CFBundleDisplayName")) as NSString;

Answer 6

You could have all bundle details from this dictionary "info". print this dictionary and get what you want.

NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSDictionary *info = [bundle infoDictionary];
