How To Change The Name Of An App On Android

By default, when a flutter app gets installed, the app name on the launcher is your Flutter project name. To change that to your desired application name on Android or iOS both, you need to change AndroidManifest.xml and Info.plist respectively. here is a two way to achieve this

1 By plugin

You can use a flutter rename plugin. It helps you to change your flutter project's AppName and BundleId for different platforms, currently only available for iOS, Android and macOS

You can change the bundleId and appName in the following steps

Default Usage if you dont pass -t or --target parameter it will try to rename all available platform project folders inside flutter project.

Run this command inside your flutter project root.

          pub global run rename --bundleId com.onatcipli.networkUpp pub global run rename --appname "Test App Name"

Custom Usage if you want to run commands directly (without using pub global run) ensure you add system catche bin directory to your path

          rename --appname yourappname -t ios

          pub global run rename --appname yourappname --target macOS

To target a specific platform use the "--target" option. e.g.

          pub global run rename --bundleId com.example.android.app --target android

2 By manual

For Android

App Name is reflected under Android>src>main>Androidmanifest.xml The label name in the Android manifest is responsible for giving the App Name for Android Application

Go to AndroidManifest.xml, find <application> tag. Change its android:label property with your desired app name.

Navigate to the : android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

enter image description here

The Androidmanifest.xml can now be modified. Choose the

          <application   android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication"   android:label="YourAppName"   android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">

For Package Name

          <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     package="your.package.name">

This portion represents the actual Android file naming system. Important information like Launcher Icon and App name can be controlled here. Modify the android:label to change the App Name only.

For iOS

For iOS, open info.plist. Change CFBundleName (Bundle Name).

Go to the Xcode project folder and open Info.plist for edit (in Xcode you can choose Open As > Source Code in the file context menu). All we need is to edit the value for key CFBundleName. It's a user-visible short name for the bundle.

Navigate to the: project/ios/Runner/Info.plist

enter image description here

Find the CFBundleName <key>. This denotes the Key that holds the app name. The app name now can be changed by modifying the <String> </String> below that.

          <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>YouAppName</string>

That's it. By having these changes, That's achieved, an updated application name in the launcher when an app gets installed on a device. your new app name will be displayed on your phone now.
