My app is called Easy Calculator. In iTunes Connect, when I create my app profile, does the app name have to match my project name in Xcode? What if the name already exists somewhere else in the App Store?

  • when you say app name, are you referring to the name that is shown below the icon on the phone/springboard? or is it the name that is seen in the app store title? Either way, it doesn't matter if how you name your project or target. Also, I have seen many apps with the same names (on the phone) show up on the app store. Commented Mar 31, 2013 at 4:13

Your app name in iTunes Connect doesn't need to match the name of your project in Xcode. I know this from experience - I have an app named Physics! Pro whose project name in Xcode is 'PhysicsAppBuild2Primary'. Of course, this is an extreme case, but it serves to illustrate.

The only thing that needs to match between iTunes and Xcode is your Bundle ID. Usually this follows a reverse-DNS style - com.erwaysoftware.physicspro would be my Bundle ID (sometimes called App ID). The App ID is actually different from the bundle ID - but that's another topic. I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily!

No. The bundle IDs should match. They're generally something like com.youcompany.awesomeapp.
