Delphi-XE4: Rename bundle/directory name for Application

Question

I am currently trying to create the Mac App store version of my Firemonkey application. My problem is, that the created bundle and pkg file names are not those I want:

enter image description here

Instead of daform.app, I want something like "DA-FormMaker.app".

My question is, is there a setting where I can configure that in Delphi (I am using XE4)? Currently its just using the Delphi project name and its get installed in applications with that name.

I tried to rename the bundle manually and created the pkg file via command line, but it still installs with the old name:

macbook:da-Air da$ sudo installer -store -pkg DA-FormMaker.pkg -target /
installer: Note: running installer as an admin user (instead of root) gives better Mac App Store fidelity
installer: DA-FormMaker.pkg has valid signature for submission: 3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: ...
installer: Installation Check: Passed
installer: Volume Check: Passed
installer: Bundle de.dasoftware.daformmaker will be relocated to /Applications/daform.app
installer: Starting install

Is there a way how this can be done? Maybe I am just blind and cannot find the setting in the IDE.

Thanks in advance.

I don't develop for OSX/iOS, but with XE5 Android this is done on the Project/Options dialog, in the Version Info portion. You might see if this info helps, particulary the section on Key/Value Listbox and CFBundleName/CFBundleDisplayName — Ken White
Thanks for the help, but unfortunately this does not change the output name of the bundle for OSX applications. — DA.
OK. That's why I posted a comment and not an answer. Like I said, I don't do Mac/Apple. — Ken White
You might want to see this previous post, which says the CFBundleDisplayName is the correct solution. :-) Also, see the XE4 docwiki here. You have to deploy the modified plist after changing the version info. — Ken White

OK, thanks to the comments above from Ken White, which gave me a good hint I managed to come up with a solution.

I was not able to change that in Delphi-XE4 itself. I changed the bundle name as suggested above, but the output was still the same (daform.pkg).

So I renamed the daform.app to DA-FormMaker.app and build the pkg file on my own:

productbuild --component DA-FormMaker.app /Applications --sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer" DA-FormMaker.pkg

The test installation with the command

installer -store -pkg DA-FormMaker.pkg -target /

installed the application correctly into the /Applications/DA-FormMaker.app folder.
