Default Display Name?

Where do you set the display name in xcode (what you see in the springboard when the app is installed)

I set it a loooong time ago for the first version of my app but now I'm making a lite version & I can't seem to find it. there are so many places to define names.

Default

It's in the Info.plist file as the 'Bundle display name'.

Default Localized Display Name

Another couple options I've found for setting the app display name are on the following page:

Technical Q&A QA1544
Obtaining the localized application name in Cocoa
Technical Q&A QA1544: Obtaining the localized application name in Cocoa

The first two show how to retrieve localized app names. The third example shows how to grab just the process name (which I believe is the executable minus the .app extension).

The iPhone Development Blog lists the steps for creating an English localization file:

More on localized resources:
Bundle Programming Guide: Anatomy of a Modern Bundle

Of course, the easiest way to change the name is right in Xcode:
