how to set an apple watch app's display name

I can't seem to find where to set the product name of my apple watch app. I do see the option Product Name, but updating it doesn't do anything. Also do not see anything in the documentation

Solution

  • First of all App's display name is different than Product Name.

    How to change App's display name:
    Find the Info.plist file that is located in your WatchKit App folder and change the key "Bundle display name" (CFBundleDisplayName).

    How to change Product Name:
    I am not sure why xCode does't allow to set the Product Name when creating a new WatchKit app. If you search for "PRODUCT_NAME", you will find that the WatchKit app is using the TARGET_NAME as product name "PRODUCT_NAME = $(TARGET_NAME)" for the WatchKit app. So you can just rename the target name.

    Hope this helps.
