I’m trying to submit a managed app with EAS. I’ve already successfully built the app, but when I go to submit it to the app store using eas submit -p ios
, I get the error:
App name "Undue" has already been used on a different account. If you have trademark rights to this name and would like it released for your use, submit a claim to Apple.
Somehow, I can’t find any documentation on this error. Obviously I can change the name
field in app.json, but I want to publish an app that shows up as “Undue” on the user’s home screen. As far as I understand, there are three different “names”:
- The one that’s used for app store connect that must be unique (I don’t care what this name is)
- The one that’s displayed to users on their home screen (this needs to be just “Undue”)
- The one that’s listed in the app store (this can be something like “Undue - Simple Slogan”)
How can I accomplish this? The docs say that the name
field in app.json is used for the home screen, so how can I publish to the app store with a unique name while still keeping the name of the app what I want? Is this even possible?
