Mac OS X, application's developer name?

Question

I have created an app for mac os x using xcode 4

In the build settings I see my name (the mac os x registered user's name)

Anyhow, I want to share the app but I don't want other to know that I created this app

So, is there a way to find out who created the app?

If there's is how can I remove my name from the app?

Thanks

It has some smell, to distribute an application anonymously. Anyway: You can change the information of your application by editing the Info.plist file inside your.app-bundle.

Right-click your application and select "Show package contents" from the context-menu. Open the folders and search for the "Info.plist" file. Open the file with TextWrangler, BBEdit oder the PropertyFile-Editor of XCode and search for your name. You can then simply replace it with anything else.

But remember :

An application should never ever been distributed without informations on the developer. The described method will only remove all "visible" informations on you. Informations on you that are part of the compiled binary won't be changed by this.
