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

I have created the app using Flutter create testapp. Now, I want to change the app name from "testapp" to "My Trips Tracker". How can I do that?

I have tried changing from the AndroidManifest.xml, and it got changed, but is there a way that Flutter provides to do that?

UPDATE: From the comments this answer seems to be out of date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

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

Don't forget to run

flutter clean

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.

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:^[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

Solution 6:^[6]

There are several possibilities:

1- The use of a package:

I suggest you to use flutter_launcher_name because of the command-line tool which simplifies the task of updating your Flutter app's launcher name.

Usage:

Add your Flutter Launcher name configuration to your pubspec.yaml file:

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_launcher_name: "^0.0.1"

flutter_launcher_name:
  name: "yourNewAppLauncherName"

After setting up the configuration, all that is left to do is run the package.

flutter pub get
flutter pub run flutter_launcher_name:main

If you use this package, you don't need modify file AndroidManifest.xml or Info.plist.

2- Edit `AndroidManifest.xml` for Android and `info.plist` for iOS

For Android, edit only android:label value in the application tag in file AndroidManifest.xml located in the folder: android/app/src/main

Code:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <application
        android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication"
        android:label="Your Application Name"  //here
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
        <activity>
        <!--  -->
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

Screenshot:

For iOS, edit only the value inside the String tag in file Info.plist located in the folder ios/Runner .

Code:

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>CFBundleName</key>
    <string>Your Application Name </string>  //here
</dict>
</plist>

Screenshot:

Do a flutter clean and restart your application if you have a problem.

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

For Android, change the app name from the Android folder, in the AndroidManifest.xml file, android/app/src/main. Let the android label refer to the name you prefer, for example,

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    <application
        android:label="test"
        // The rest of the code
    </application>
</manifest>

A few of the answers here suggest using the package flutter_launcher_name, but this package is no longer being maintained and will result in dependency issues within new Flutter 2.0 projects.

The plugin flutter_app_name (https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_app_name) is a nearly identical package that has sound null safety and will work with Flutter 2.0.

Set your dev dependencies and your app's name

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_app_name: ^0.1.1

flutter_app_name:
  name: "My Cool App"

Run flutter_app_name in your project's directory

flutter pub get
flutter pub run flutter_app_name

Your launcher will now have the name of "My Cool App".

One problem is that in iOS Settings (iOS 12.x) if you change the Display Name, it leaves the app name and icon in iOS Settings as the old version.

Solution 10:^[10]

For Android, change the app name from the Android folder. In the AndroidManifest.xml file, in folder android/app/src/main, let the android label refer to the name you prefer, for example,

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    <application
        `android:label="myappname"`
        // The rest of the code
    </application>
</manifest>

You can change the Application name, by updating the name for both Android and iOS

for Android

just open AndroidManifest.xml file by,

go to inside android>app>src>main>AndroidManifest.xml

like this:-

so my application name is a "demo" so, I will update the label value.

same as for iOS just open Info.plist file by,

go to inside ios>Runner>Info.plist

like this:-

And change this string value.

As of 2019-12-21, you need to change the name [NameOfYourApp] in file pubspec.yaml. Then go to menu Edit ? Find ? Replace in Path, and replace all occurrences of your previous name.

Also, just for good measure, change the folder names in your android directory, e.g. android/app/src/main/java/com/example/yourappname.

Then in the console, in your app's root directory, run

flutter clean

Solution 13:^[13]

First Rename your AndroidManifest.xml file

android:label="Your App Name"

Second Rename Your Application Name in Pubspec.yaml file name: Your Application Name

Third Change Your Application logo

flutter_icons:
   android: "launcher_icon"
   ios: true
   image_path: "assets/path/your Application logo.formate"

Fourth Run

flutter pub pub run flutter_launcher_icons:main

Hi I saw indeed the manual solution (to go to IOS and Android). But I found out a plugin which enables changing name from one single location:

https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_launcher_name

Just do the following: Add to pubspec.yaml

dev_dependencies: 
  flutter_launcher_name: "^0.0.1"
  
flutter_launcher_name:
  name: "yourNewAppLauncherName"

Run in Terminal:

flutter pub get
flutter pub run flutter_launcher_name:main

Done.

Solution 15:^[15]

The way of changing the name for iOS and Android is clearly mentioned in the documentation as follows:

But, the case of iOS after you change the Display Name from Xcode, you are not able to run the application in the Flutter way, like flutter run.

Because the Flutter run expects the app name as Runner. Even if you change the name in Xcode, it doesn't work.

So, I fixed this as follows:

Move to the location on your Flutter project, ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, and find and replace all instances of your new name with Runner.

Then everything should work in the flutter run way.

But don't forget to change the name display name on your next release time. Otherwise, the App Store rejects your name.
