Change App name only on Homescreen?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

We have an app “The Incredible Edible Pizza Slice That Ramone Made”, and would like for this to be truncated to “Pizza Slice” only on the homescreen.

Is there a way to do this with CoronaSDK and iOS or Android? [import]uid: 4596 topic_id: 15209 reply_id: 315209[/import]

Yes :slight_smile:

Add the following line to plist section of your build.settings

[lua]CFBundleDisplayName = “Pizza Slice”,[/lua] [import]uid: 10478 topic_id: 15209 reply_id: 56217[/import]

That works great for iOS, thanks! Do you know if all of the iOS plist settings are compatible with CoronaSDK, and if there is such an option for Android? [import]uid: 4596 topic_id: 15209 reply_id: 56219[/import]

You’re welcome…

So far all the iOS plist settings I’ve tried worked ok, so I assume they are compatible. But again may be I was lucky, best would be testing the setting fist :wink:

Regarding the android, there appears to be a way but I’m not sure if corona allows setting it…

Just a blind shot but you might want to try adding that to build.settings
[lua] android =
{
label = “Pizza Slice”,
},[/lua] [import]uid: 10478 topic_id: 15209 reply_id: 56242[/import]
