More about 'CFBundleName' and 'CFBundleDisplayName'

The following is from Apple's documentation on Core Foundation Keys

CFBundleName, “Bundle name”, The short name of the bundle; not intended to be seen by the user. See CFBundleName for details. (Recommended, Localizable)

CFBundleDisplayName, “Bundle display name”, The user-visible name of the bundle; used by Siri and visible on the Home screen in iOS. See CFBundleDisplayName for details. (Required, Localizable)


[[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleName"];

I’d try

[[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName"];

although presumably you know your own app’s name and can just use it…
