How can I change the app display name build with Flutter?
UPDATE: From the comments this answer seems to be out of date
The Flutter documentation points out where you can change the display name of your application for both Android and iOS. This may be what you are looking for:
- Preparing an Android App for Release
- Preparing an iOS App for Release
For Android
It seems you have already found this in the AndroidManifest.xml
as the application
entry.
Review the default App Manifest file AndroidManifest.xml located in /android/app/src/main/ and verify the values are correct, especially:
application: Edit the android:label in the application tag to reflect the final name of the app.
For iOS
See the Review Xcode project settings
section:
Navigate to your target’s settings in Xcode:
In Xcode, open Runner.xcworkspace in your app’s ios folder.
To view your app’s settings, select the Runner project in the Xcode project navigator. Then, in the main view sidebar, select the Runner target.
Select the General tab. Next, you’ll verify the most important settings:
Display Name: the name of the app to be displayed on the home screen and elsewhere.
Android
Open AndroidManifest.xml
(located at android/app/src/main
)
<application
android:label="App Name" ...> // Your app name here
iOS
Open info.plist
(located at ios/Runner
)
<key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
<string>App Name</string> // Your app name here
In iOS you can also update the App name from the General Tab in Xcode
You just have to update the value for the field Display Name
Don't forget to stop and run the app again.
There is a plugin called flutter_launcher_name.
Write file pubspec.yaml:
dev_dependencies:
flutter_launcher_name: "^0.0.1"
flutter_launcher_name:
name: "yourNewAppLauncherName"
And run:
flutter pub get
flutter pub run flutter_launcher_name:main
You can get the same result as editing AndroidManifest.xml
and Info.plist
.
