A person needs the name of my app currently in App Store. Let's take "ABC" as name of my app. I submit an update to change my app name to "ABCD". Will the other person be able to create an app with the name "ABC"?
Thanks guys

i have tried changing the description using infoplist.strings, but how can i replace the project name with the new one in the title of the alert view. can anyone guide me
i want to replace ABCDE with my app title
It's the display name of your app. You can't just change it for this alert.
If you wan't to change the display name of your app (The one appears on the home screen). You can do that by changing the value of Bundle Name CFBundleName in your Info.plist.
I recently released a new build of an app to the app store a bit ago. On iTunes connect I set the name which is displayed on the dashboard and in the app store, but when downloaded on a device, the name is the same as the original Xcode project on my computer. What is up with that? Is there something in the plist I need to change?
Many thanks.
AFAIK, you have to change the bundle name in info.plist. It's default is $(PRODUCT_NAME). And this product name is the one you put while creating the app in XCode at the beginning.
The App Store data is taken from the info you uploaded in iTunesConnect.
Also, if this varies widely then your app might got rejected. Check the guideline 3.4. About 2% of apps get rejected for this, check here.
The name that should be displayed on the device itself is defined on the plist in XCode in the Bundle Display Name field. The name that's displayed on the App Store is defined on iTunesConnect in the App Name field.
The two fields don't affect one another but they should be similar enough so that Apple's review team won't reject the app.
The name of my iOS app is already taken for English US.
I've noticed that I am able to use the name that I would like to if I make the default language English UK or English CA instead of English US.
Will setting the default language to English UK or English CA, and not having an English US langauge not allow the app to be visible in the US? Are there any other workarounds that I could use to make it so I could use the app name that I would like to for the US app store?
As an option, you can use some long app name as iTunesConnect name e.g. ("Documents 5 - Fast PDF reader, media player and download manager", "Lifesum - Join the health movement").
This name is used on the app store page and defined on iTunesConnect when you upload the app.
The name of your binary is in your Project Setting (Bundle display name) and there you can use shorter name of your app (refering to previous example will be: "Documents" and "Lifesum").
If you could use English UK or CA instead of US in order to achieve desired name of your App then go for it. Your app will not be invisible from US App Store. Until and unless you restrict your app visibility from some countries which obviously you shouldn't do when configuring your App for submission.

I have an individual apple developer account. I tried to upload a new ios application, but I had a problem. There is an error message "Please enter a company name to use within the iTunes Store.", but there is no field for company name. This app will be the first app of this individual account. There is a screenshot here :
Thanks for helping...
You have to do a little trick.
In that screen once you have the error, you have to put the html inspector and look for "company" the field has a "ng-hide" class. Delete it ("ng-hide") in the html view an then you can see the company name field, fill it and it works ;)
