Hi All, i have install titanium on a Mac and i try to generate a Application with a special character on the Name. But they don't works...

The Application name is: Schön

If i compile it on iPhone i become only this code in the Debug Modus:

[INFO] Compiling JavaScript...one moment
[INFO] No JavaScript errors detected.
[INFO] One moment, building ...
[INFO] Titanium SDK version: 1.4.1.1
[INFO] iPhone Device family: iphone
[INFO] iPhone SDK version: 4.1
but the application don't start... have anybody an idea? i think this is a titanium "bug"...

thx, newmedia

Yes, there is a solution, but only for iPhone.

You have to copy the generated Info.plist from your builds/iphone directory to the rood folder of your project (which contains the Resources folder). Then you could change the CFBundleDisplayName like this:

<key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
    <string>Horoszkóp</string>
Recompile it and enjoy :)

Sadly, that won't work. There is currently no known way to make special characters work.

You cannot have special characters in your app name, or in you path. So keep in mind that the folders in the path to the project cannot contain any special characters either.

You can also view build/iphone/build.log for more information.

hi richard, thx for answer! hm... thats not good :) is this a titanium failer or is this apple's bug?

thx, newmedia

Is there a solution to this ? Can the app be renamed before going to the app-store ?
