The BUNDLE_DISPLAY_NAME of my app changes (between Testing, Staging, Production) so that it's obvious to testers etc. which varian they are using.
The name contains unicode space to ensure the OS doesn't apply kerning to the spacing within the app name. If this is put directly into the info.plist then on the iPhone desktop it's displayed as desired i.e. if the info.plist contains
My Application Name
Then on the iPhone desktop it displays as:
My Application Name
However if the name is defined in an .xcconfig file as
BUNDLE_DISPLAY_NAME = Xfinity Call Guard
And the info.plist contains $(BUNDLE_DISPLAY_NAME)
Then the name is displayed on the iPhone desktop as My Application N....
Is there a way to specify the name with the unicode characters within an .xcconfig and get that to appear as spaces on the desktop?
Just enter the desired character directly in the xcconfig file. The XML character reference ߒ isn’t needed since an xcconfig file isn’t XML. It’s just a text file encoded in UTF-8 so just about any character should work.
Also note that you can enter this directly in the Info.plist file too. The XML character reference syntax is fine of course (and improves readability in this case) but isn’t needed in most cases.
