I have some text labels in a registration dialog that contain the

"xxx Demonstration"
"Thank you for purchasing xxx"
and so on.
I would like this registration dialog to be general enough that I
can use it in multiple applications. Is there a simple way to
replace the xxx with the actual application name at runtime? At the
moment I'm thinking I'll have to wire every label up to my
registration controller and do it in awakeFromNib, but I was hoping
for something easier.
Thanks!

You could create a subclass of NSTextField that does its own
replacement. That would save you from having to create outlets.
What I've been doing (in Mac OS X as well as iPhone OS) is to store a
string template in my localized strings file. Then, use NSBundle APIs
to fill in the app name at runtime.
For example:
[NSString stringWithFormat:NSLocalizedString (@"Welcome to %@", @"some
comment"),
[[NSBundle mainBundle]
objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleName"]];
