I'm curious - is it possible to programmatically change the name of an iPhone app that is used on the iPhone OS home screen? I know it's just an entry in the Info.plist file, but I haven't seen any apps doing it.
I'd like to distribute a "Lite" version of an existing app and allow users to upgrade to the full version via in-app purchase. However, once they purchase the app, I'd like to change the app's icon and name to read "Layers Pro" instead of "Layers Lite." I feel like this is important to maintain consistency and a good upgrade experience.

No, you can't. The only way to change the name of an iPhone app is when you update the app through iTunesConnect.

No, it's not possible. The Info.plist and everything in the app bundle is read-only once it's installed on an iPhone.
