Pardon my ignorance. I was waiting for somebody else to ask this stupid question but nobody did so I'm gonna have to.
How do you change the app name in xCode?
I've never used xCode before and now I'm working on two different iPhone projects and would like to have both of them on my iPhone and maybe call them something other than TGBGame.

The part that I didn't get is uploading two different app to the iPhone. it doesn't matter how I rename them the last one to upload will overwrite the previous.
Do you know if it's related to only having one provision file? do I need a provision for each game?

Yes, I got the renaming part. and also the product name under packaging. The part that I didn't get is uploading two different app to the iPhone. it doesn't matter how I rename them the last one to upload will overwrite the previous.

Unless you have a wildcard profile for it. then check the bundle identifier.

Yet they keep overwriting each other when uploading to device.

I do have a wildcard profile and two seperate xcode projects with different names, target name and packaging name that correspond the the project.Yet they keep overwriting each other when uploading to device.

the bundle name defines the name in the iphone database. the name of the app is of no importance. I've 3 TGBGame applications on my front page.

Check the bundle name in the info.plistthe bundle name defines the name in the iphone database. the name of the app is of no importance. I've 3 TGBGame applications on my front page.

My profile is ad-hoc distribution using a wild-card.
Do you have all 3 apps using the same provision profile?

Still no luck. I've changed to bundle name, bundle display name and executable name.My profile is ad-hoc distribution using a wild-card.
Do you have all 3 apps using the same provision profile?

Thought you still name 3 things that all are NOT what I meant: I mean the bundle identifier, listed in Info.plist in your xcode project.
Thats the one and only important thing.
So please check that file when beeing in xcode and see what it mentions as "bundle identifier" because they will likely be the same on all 3

Yes all have the same. But it is a wildcard profile ( blabla.* ) so it can be used like that.Thought you still name 3 things that all are NOT what I meant: I mean the bundle identifier, listed in Info.plist in your xcode project.

So thanks for your help. much appriciated.

I get it. there is actually a field that is called "bundle name" in the info.plist so that got me confused in your first post. In any case I changed the "bundle Identifier" and that totally worked and now I got both apps on the device.So thanks for your help. much appriciated.

Yeah the bundle stuff can confuse people at the beginning. I guess there are still quite a few things related to the Info.plist that I don't know yet.

If you havent figured it out yet, right click on the TGBGame target and go to "Get Info", then in the Build tab scroll down to "Product Name" - change that to whatever you like :)
