How can I change the app display name build with Flutter?

Solution 1:

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>CFBundleName</key>
<string>App Name</string> // Your app name here

Don't forget to run

flutter clean

UPDATE: From the comments this answer seems to be out of date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.

Solution 3:

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.

Solution 4:

You can change it in iOS without opening Xcode by editing the project/ios/Runner/info.plist <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key> to the String that you want as your name.

FWIW - I was getting frustrated with making changes in Xcode and Flutter, so I started committing all changes before opening Xcode, so I could see where the changes show up in the Flutter project.

Solution 5:

Review the default app manifest file, AndroidManifest.xml, located in <app dir>/android/app/src/main
Edit the android:label to your desired display name
