How do I change the name of a multiplatform app with an iOS target?

Updating the Xcode->Target->General->“Display Name” as per normal does not help

There are other Xcode steps involved. Look up how to rename a module in Xcode, in general.

In projects created from JetBrain's latest templates, there's an APP_NAME property you can change in the iosApp/Configuration/Config.xcconfig file.

I’m building a project without the APP_NAME, but I guess I can use it to determine which values I need to change.

How is the APP_NAME variable in iosApp/Configuration/Config.xcconfig consumed by gradle build and Xcode?

[jQrgen]

I only see Android consuming it when searching for the APP_NAME variable in the JetBrain’s latest template project

Maybe I just need to set this in info.plist? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/cfbundledisplayname

The app_name string Android uses is different. It's in the res/values/strings.xml file in the Android app.

How does Xcode pick up the variable from the config file?

[Jeff Lockhart]

Ultimately it's in the iosApp.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file that the name is configured. The newer template uses the properties from Config.xcconfig in project.pbxproj. I think you can also configure it from info.plist.
