iOS App name not showing under my icon

"Bundle display name" in your Info.plist. Normally this is set to ${PRODUCT_NAME} and the app name by default appears under the icon. You must've messed something up.
DreamPod: Yes, the product name was already set in the "Target MyApp Info" -> Build -> Product Name. That took care of most things.
dejo: For the actual name to appear under the icon, however, it was as you said the Bundle display name. I changed both "Bundle display name" and "Bundle name". I must have thought that it should say ${MyApp} instead of just MyApp here, which messed up things.
I still have ${EXECUTABLE_NAME} in the "Executable file" in the Info.plist, though. Should I change that too to MyApp?

No. And you should change your Bundle Display Name and Bundle Name back to ${PRODUCT_NAME} as well. There is a reason that these values are set to pull dynamically. That way you only need to change the value in one place and it propagates to where it's needed. This approach also allows you to localize these values if necessary.
