app name unique ?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

How is it that several of the Angry Birds apps on my ios device display the same appname as ‘Angry Birds’. Aren’t they supposed to be unique?

Is it that we can designate our displayed appname differently from the ‘internal’, or build name?

The actual app name as it appears on the App Store needs to be unique. The text under the icon can be whatever you’d like. [import]uid: 51654 topic_id: 33653 reply_id: 133862[/import]

Just to elaborate a little further, to set the name on the device put this line in build.settings;

[lua]CFBundleDisplayName = “App Name”[/lua]

so if I put,
CFBundleDisplayName = “GilgameshEpic” as the display name and “GilgameshEpic The First Chapter”
as the appname, am I correct that this is acceptable?

Furthermore, if I submit a second app,
CFBundleDisplayName = “GilgameshEpic”, again as the display app and “GilgameshEpic The Second Chapter”, this would also be acceptable.

Thus, each app would display the same name, GilgameshEpic with their respective appnames.
