Description

@dannmat

Expected Behaviour
When searching for 'Bitcoin Core' on MacOS Spotlight, it should show as 'Bitcoin Core'. 'Bitcoin Core' is the name of the executable in the directory and under Applications, so this should replicate through search.

Actual Behaviour
Searching for 'Bitcoin Core' on MacOS spotlight shows as 'Bitcoin-QT', which may be confusing to users and could cause concern for a fraudulent application.

Here is a screenshot showing the wrong name:
Bitcoin-Qt

System information
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
macOS Catalina 10.15 Beta

I'm running a self-compiled version, running master as of 20/10/2019.
