After some confusion I managed to change my app name (while it was in status 'Prepare for Upload' - not sure if this works for other statuses):

Log in to Itunes Connect
Click "Manage applications"
Click on your app
Click "View details" under your current version
Click on Edit next to "Metadata and Uploads"

And then you can edit the name.

This doesn't work after the app has been approved. You need to follow atrljoe's advice below in that case. – MindJuice Feb 11 '14 at 17:16

The only way you can edit a App Name (assuming the app has been approved) is by creating a new version, at that point you can modify it.

Apple has removed the tables that once referenced what could be updated during what statuses. Now Apple has outlined exactly what CAN be change while the app is in the 'Ready for Sale' status. Anything else will require a new version to be created.

You can change the following store metadata while an app’s version has the “Ready for Sale” status:

Copyright, Routing App Coverage File

Description, What’s New in this Version

Support URL, Marketing URL, and Privacy Policy URL

App Store Contact Information Language support, including adding new languages and changing the default language

EULA

Hi.. Will this change of name reflect in the current version also? If I have 2.0 ready for sale with app name 'X', will changing app name to 'Y' in 2.1 change the app name in v2.0 also? – iPP Aug 19 '15 at 04:16
what about changing the name before the app is approved or before even uploading the .ipa file? – gaurish.salunke Jan 16 '19 at 04:36
@atrljoe Is it required to upload new build if we just want to change the app name? – Dharmendra Mar 31 '20 at 09:31

Its place on the renewed iTunes Connect interface is under 'Versions' tab:

I don't understand why so many people go around saying this isn't possible. The input field is right there (as you showed in your nice screenshot). Glad to know some more people can see the input field........ The bold red line was priceless!! – Antonio Brandao Apr 28 '15 at 03:01

I don't see this line. – Oliver Dixon Jan 27 '19 at 11:45
Same, this input does not appear for me on the page despite the app's state being "waiting for review". – Mattias Martens May 07 '21 at 21:58
Update to the above: seems like there's a particular UI issue with App Store Connect. If you have your "display element size" set to higher than the default, then most of the App Store Connect interface is hidden (not scrollable) at default zoom. Zoom out and it all appears, including the "App Info" tab that takes you to the name field. Oy... – Mattias Martens May 07 '21 at 22:39

To rename existing application on App Store you can create New Version and then enter app-name in Name field.

This name will be displayed now as the name of your app on the App Store. This can't be longer than 255 characters.

There would be some confusion around that, the reason is that the name you put on the app store (on iTunesConnect) can be different from the name given within Xcode (under build settings)..

So if your app name is displayed properly on the app store, but when you download it, the name is different, it's because Apple doesn't apply the name given on iTunesConnect to the binary that people download..

Which means you have to recompile and reupload as new version..

The way to change your App 'Name' or 'Subtitle' seems to have changed slightly.

First need to create a 'new version' of your app, use the option: "+ VERSION OR PLATFORM" (shown in the image below), then after saving that new version, you can click on the "App Information" (shown in the image below), and in that form you now can edit the "Name" and "Subtitle" (which will both be reviewed by Apple before your new version if the app becomes available on the App store).

This new name and subtitle will be used for the new version of your app on the app store.
