change app name in App Store
IosXcodeApp Store-ConnectIos Problem Overview
I have app called "X". It's already approved in the app store. Now I want it to be called "X Pro" for some reasons. What should I edit in plist or ITC to change this name? I guess I should change bundle_name or bundle_display_name, but will it change app name in the App Store or it will change just name on the device?
Create new app in ITC is not an option coz app is already approved. Thanks!

If you have already created the new version in ITC, you can edit your apps name with the following steps:
In iTunes Connect, click your app and you will see versions at the bottom of the page, click "View Details" of your updated version (e.g. 1.1).
Then click "Edit" next to "Metadate and Upoads"
In the pop-up change the text in the field "App Name"

Direct quote from Apple's documentation:
> You can change the name of your existing app only when submitting an > update of your app binary. If you submit an app name which is already > in use within the same geography in which your app is sold, you will > be prompted to enter another name.
I just googled it.
Solution 3 - Ios
The name of the app as it appears on the app store is entered when submitting a new or updated app binary. The app name is not actually configured inside the app binary itself. Hope that is clear. If you want to change the launcher name as it appears below the icon in iOS, then you can change that in your actual project configuration.
