iOS - Change App Name for Homescreen and Spotlight

Question

I'm working on a new iOS App, and it has a pretty long name, so I display a shortened version on the homescreen by chaing the Bundle Display Name value in the Info.plist file. However, I want to display the full name when the user searches for it through spotlight. How can I implement this?

Thanks

Your app can have two names:

• Bundle Display Name, which is the name that is displayed on the home screen (Springboard)
• iTunes Connect name, which is the name you give apple when you submit your app to the Appstore

Spotlight indexes both names for search. so you can have the longer name as your iTunesConnect name and the shortened version on the bundle display name. And both will be searchable.
