Bug: iOS target ignores title from spec, using package.name for the home screen display name #1976

Description

@dogancankalinci

When building an app for the ios target, Buildozer ignores the title field in the buildozer.spec file for setting the application's visible name on the iOS home screen. Instead, it shows the value of package.name in the home screen, which is intended for the bundle identifier, not for display.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a buildozer.spec file with distinct title and package.name values.
  2. Build and install the application on a device.
  3. Check the app's name on the device's home screen.

Expected behavior

The application's name displayed on the iOS home screen should be the value specified in the title token.

Actual behavior

The application's name on the home screen is the value from the package.name token.
