Getting an iPhone app's product name at runtime?

How can this be achieved? I would like to get the name so i can display it within an app, without having to change it in code each time i change a name, of course.

Try this

NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
NSDictionary *info = [bundle infoDictionary];
NSString *prodName = [info objectForKey:@"CFBundleDisplayName"];

Good answers here. I would add one thing though.

Rather than using @"CFBundleDisplayName", which has the potential to change in future, it's best to cast the string constant supplied in CFBundle.h like so:

[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey:(NSString*)kCFBundleNameKey];

Thus future-proofing your code.

According to Apple, using - objectForInfoDictionaryKey: directly on the NSBundle object is preferred:

Use of this method is preferred over other access methods because it returns the localized value of a key when one is available.

Here's an example in Swift:

let appName = NSBundle.mainBundle().objectForInfoDictionaryKey("CFBundleName") as! String
// Or use key "CFBundleDisplayName"

Update for Swift 3 - thanks Jef.

let appName = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "CFBundleName") as! String

I had a problem when I localize my application name by using InfoPlist.strings, like

CFBundleDisplayName = "My Localized App Name";

I could not obtain localized application name if I use infoDictionary.

In that case I used localizedInfoDirectory like below.

NSDictionary *locinfo = [bundle localizedInfoDictionary];
