hi all, i am new to iPhone programming. i create a application in Xcode. I want to change the application name and icon.However i can change the application name (which is appeared below the icon of application in iPhone) and icon from plist. i want to ask that whether there are any other method or trick from which i can change the icon and application Name.

my project requirement is that end user want to change application name and icon frequently

A: 

As far as I know there is absolutely no way for the end user to change the application name or icon of applicaitons distributed via the App Store. I believe it would be possible to do this on jailbroken phones, but I'm not an expert in that area.

As I mentioned before, I'm not an expert in the area of jailbroken phone apps. I'm not exactly certain on the amount of security provided by the SDK to create jailbroken apps or the access to files that it allows you. If you were to implement this, it would never be able to be distributed to the app store, and would be very difficult and messy to implement (as it would involve writing directly to files stored outside your applications own directory). Perhaps ask another question which is more specific to this need? I'm sure there's some good iPhone devs around on this site, Good luck!

A: 

Jay is correct. You need to specify an icon and name for your app in the info.plist file. Those values can't be changed dynamically. If you want to change the name or the icon, you would need to fix them in xcode and submit an update to Apple for approval.

There's definitely an app in cydia to accomplish this but you must jailbreak your iPhone or iPod touch
