Should I avoid changing the CFBundleName of my iOS app for a new release?

问题

I have an already released iOS app with a certain CFBundleName in its Info.plist.

For an update, I changed the CFBundleName (and hence, the name of the generated .app product) for consistency reasons. This is invisible to the user, who only sees the CFBundleDisplayName.

However, it seems that the updates on clients’ devices don't work correctly — the update progress bar reaches the end, jumps back to the beginning, and stops. The only solution is to delete and reinstall the app.

So:

• Is is forbidden to change the CFBundleName of an already existing app?
• Is it the thing that breaks my updates?
• If so, why is this not checked by the validation process by Apple?

After two years, I am answering this old question with a best-guess answer: no, one should not especially avoid changing the the CFBundleName.
