Get Application Name

If you ever need to get the name of your application in code, for example, to display the application name across a navigation bar, it’s as near as the bundle for your application.

The code to get the name is as simple as this:

[[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary]   objectForKey:@"CFBundleName"];

The breakdown is as follows:


NSBundle mainBundle creates a bundle object that maps to the directory where the application lives.

infoDictionary returns a dictionary that contains the contents of the above bundles Info.plist

objectForKey:@”CFBundleName” will return the value for specified key, in our example, the name of the application.
