I think there is a bit of confusion:

• you want to change the project name or
• you want to change the App name on the iOS dashboard ?

usually is enough to change the latter, adding/modifying the BUNDLE DISLAY NAME key in plist.

Is better to leave project name untouched, but may be changed

Note that Bundle display Name CAN contain spaces and special chars, but project NOT. Doing so some cmd line tools will fails due to filename path rules.

And even more Bundle Display name can be localized.

So unless you are in early stage and need to change INTERNAL project name, go on using Bundle Display Name key.
