Changing product name causes code to break?

[HalfFull]

Situation: I have completed my app ready for the app store and want to create a LITE version. With the lite version I have simple made a copy of the project and removed a few features. This works just fine.

Problem: Since editing the product name from 'MyApp' to 'MyAppLite' is when the problem occurs. In both versions, I am savings strings to an array (using NSUserDefaults). The main (original) app works, however the lite version does not save the strings (despite using the same code!). If I rename it to the original app name it works flawlessly.

I have a hunch that I need to edit something in info.plist or something similar but not entirely sure what. I'm not an experienced programmer so I'm relying on SO for help.

Thank you.

Do not manually rename the app. Try going to "Build Settings" (where you set SDK version, certificates, etc...) and look for a line, named "product name". There you enter the new name of your app.

Let me know, if this works for you.
