Get App Name in Swift

Question

How do I get the application name in Swift?

Googling gave me this:

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


        

Answer 1

I have created a simple extension to get the app name that is shown under the icon on the Home screen.

By default, apps only have CFBundleName set. Some apps, however, set CFBundleDisplayName (The user-visible name of the bundle) to change the title under the app icon. Adding spaces is often the case, e.g. bundle name "ExampleApp" could have bundle display name set to "Example App".

extension Bundle {
    // Name of the app - title under the icon.
    var displayName: String? {
            return object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "CFBundleDisplayName") as? String ??
                object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "CFBundleName") as? String
    }
}

Usage:

let appName = Bundle.main.displayName
