Question

App name

It just occured to me I'm not sure where to set the name of the app. I've set up a provisioning development profile, I've done the app ID, and I've got my game on the iPhone for testing purposes, and right now the name on the iPhone is something like mygamenameD_v91, but where does my actual game name come into the deployment process? the game name that should appear in the app store when the game is done and ready to be sold? is that setup when I setup a distribution profile? or is it in the development provisioning and somehow carried forward to the deployment provisioning profile? in which case I have to create a new profile or something with the actual eventual name?

Thanks for any advice.

Its an Air 3+ bug, not sure if its fixed in 3.2. Prior versions used the name you gave the app in the iOS settings menu, now it uses the file name instead. One quick way around it is to name your .fla file the name of your app, but thats a bandaid fix.

Here is a post about it. Me talking to myself.

Cool, but what's the name that shows up in the URL link in the app store? Where's that generated from?

You mean the EAN or whatever its called, that gets generated when you create a new app in the iTunes Connect web portal before you submit your app, so to answer what you are probably wondering about, yes you can know the link to your app before its approved and out on the app store. I think apple has some docs for this but also a quick google search will answer it.
