App Switcher vs Springboard

Hey folks,


Can an app have a different name on the Springboard vs what users would see in the App Switcher?


I assume it's in an option available in the info.plist file but I am not sure which it would be.


Cheers in advance.

I don't think both are an option.


See the docs QA1892:


"The app name on the iPhone home screen comes from the 

CFBundleDisplayName
(or "Bundle display name", the human-readable string in Xcode) entry of your iOS app’s Info.plist (see Figure 1). If the bundle display name is not provided, the system will fall back to the app's bundle name, which is specified in the 
CFBundleName
entry of the Info.plist."

Not to be confused w/localized names and siri name.
