Hi,

My app supports 2 different share extensions, and before iOS13, it was easy to tell them apart, because I would specify this in the Bundle Display Name (CFBundleDisplayName in info.plist). With iOS13, it seems to only show the name of the app for both share extensions, and not the Display Name specified, which will make it confusing to users if they see the same app icon + name in the share sheet.

I filed a Radar for this, but it was returned with "Resolution:Investigation complete - Change required from 3rd party" ... but it didn't specify what kind of change to make.

Anyone know how to customize the name of the share extension going forward?

Thanks.

Am also experiencing this same issue. It just seems to disregard the extension display names completely.

I got a respose from Apple through Feedback Assistant that this is "working as expected". As opaque as ever. This was working fine in iOS12, and withtout any doucmentation or note anywhere, they seemed to have changed the "expected" behavior.
