ASWebAuthenticationSession and SFAuthenticationSession use the target name instead of bundle display name

[ugenlik]

Describe the bug
When using OIDAuthState.authState(byPresenting: request, presenting: viewController) there is an alertview for devices greater than iOS 11 for single-sign on. Which is obvious.

But the problem is alertview uses scheme name of the app not Display Name from the Info.plist or bundle identifier name from bundle.

Which makes it very confusing for the user, because name of my App is GO, but the project scheme/workspace name is HUGIN

and user sees following when try to login:

User doesn't know what HUGIN is , so it is incredibly confusing for everybody.

They need to see either one of this values:

Is there a way to pass the Display Name to system so OS doesnt use the scheme name ???

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior , just use OIDAuthState.authState(byPresenting in iOS 11 or iOS 12

 // builds authentication request
        let request = OIDAuthorizationRequest(configuration: configuration,
                                clientId: clientID,
                                clientSecret: Config.sharedInstance.identity_ClientSecret,
                                scope: "xxxx",
                                redirectURL: redirectURI,
                                responseType: OIDResponseTypeCode,
                                state: nil, nonce: nil, codeVerifier: nil, codeChallenge: nil, codeChallengeMethod: nil,
                                additionalParameters: additionalParams)

OIDAuthState.authState(byPresenting: request, presenting: viewController) { authState, error in

}

I always thought it was the app name, but now that you raise this I've never directly confirmed that, nor do I know how to change it. Hopefully someone here knows the answer!

So to be clear, it's not using the name that shows under your app's icon on the homescreen?

@WilliamDenniss no it does not, it uses either target name or project name, I am not sure which one it is using.

As you can see target name is Hugin, but the display name is mHelpDeskGO QA

in the device

I also tested on my side and confirm this is the target name that is used (not the project name). It appears to be a bug from Apple's ASWebAuthenticationSession (also the deprecated SFAuthenticationSession on iOS 11) with no way to change this behaviour.

It is really annoying, luckily our team has their own identity server and our stake holders are okay with using the identity server without sso.

So I created a gist and by passing the alertview for now.

Glad you resolved it for your case @ugenlik.

I would expect the standard workaround for this to be renaming the target to the desired name.

[WilliamDenniss]

Closing this as there's not much we can do on the AppAuth side, and we have a known workaround, but feel free to continue commenting for how you all workaround this, and if any changes to the OS behavior are observed!

Struggling with the same problem, I found that what is set in CFBundleName in Info.plist is what is displayed in that dialog. That is the short version of CFBundleDisplayName.

Change info.plist Bundle name is invalid. We need change in buildSetting -> Product Name
