Just open the Info.plist file of your project and put an other name in the value for the CFBundleExecutable. It's probably something like ${EXECUTABLE_NAME} right now and you can put anything there. It's not visible to the end user of your app.

Changing this gives me an error of `Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate. (-19011)` – Andrew Apr 24 '11 at 16:26
@Andrew, you have to update the Info.plist and perform another archive. That will code-sign your new bundle. – Black Frog Apr 24 '11 at 16:35

set the Bundle Display Name to ${PRODUCT_NAME} and create an InfoPlist.strings file if you don't already have one. Then set that CFBundleDisplayName to the name you want.

"CFBundleDisplayName" = "Whatever";

Then you can make your app with a + sign in the name

Since Snow Leopard, Xcode now provides a "Project > Rename…" menu item that will rename all aspects of a project, including the executable name.Reference
