How to change package name in flutter?

For Android App Name

Change the label name in your AndroidManifest.xml file:

 <application
    android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication"
    android:label="TheNameOfYourApp"   

For Package Name

Change the package name in your AndroidManifest.xml (in 3 of them, folders: main, debug and profile, according what environment you want to deploy) file:

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

Also in your build.gradle file inside app folder

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "your.package.name"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 27
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

Finally, change the package in your MainActivity.java class (if the MainActivity.java is not available, check the MainActivity.kt)

    package your.package.name;

    import android.os.Bundle;
    import io.flutter.app.FlutterActivity;
    import io.flutter.plugins.GeneratedPluginRegistrant;
    public class MainActivity extends FlutterActivity {

Change the directory name:

From:

  android\app\src\main\java\com\example\name

To:

  android\app\src\main\java\your\package\name

for package name just change in build build.gradle only

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "your.package.name"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 27
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

For iOS

Change the bundle identifier from your Info.plist file inside your ios/Runner directory.

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.your.packagename</string>

UPDATE

To avoid renaming the package and bundle identifier, you can start your project using this command in your terminal:

flutter create --org com.yourdomain appname

Changing name manually doesn't seem to work, throws gradle errors, well in my case it does throw error.

So I usually create a new flutter project.

I use below mentioned command to create a new flutter app

flutter create --org com.yourdomain appname

your project will have the package name as -> com.yourdomain.appname


if you just want to keep your package name as com.appname then make some changes as below

flutter create --org com appname

to add java instead of kotlin for android add -a java

flutter create -a java --org com.yourdomain appname

EDIT


If you have already created a project you can use change_app_package_name package to change the package name.

flutter pub run change_app_package_name:main com.package.appname

For those like me that doesn't like to change specific files, I've used https://pub.dev/packages/rename.

Using this, you simply run these commands in your terminal and your app name and identifiers will be changed.pub global run

Installing: pub global activate rename

And then, Run this command inside your flutter project root.

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


Android

In Android the package name is in the AndroidManifest:

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

iOS

In iOS the package name is the bundle identifier in Info.plist:

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>

which is found in Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj:

PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER = com.example.appname;

Changing the name

The package name is found in more than one location, so to change the name you should search the whole project for occurrences of your old project name and change them all.

Android Studio and VS Code:

  • Mac: Command + Shift + F
  • Linux/Windows: Ctrl + Shift + F

Thanks to diegoveloper for help with iOS.

Update:

After coming back to this page a few different times, I'm thinking it's just easier and cleaner to start a new project with the right name and then copy the old files over.


Change name attribute in pubspec.yaml (line 1)

For the name of apk, change android:label in AndroidManifest.xml
