Change app name and label

You can change the app name (shown on the home screen) either manually or using a helper package. #

Manual Method #

🟢 Android #

🔧 Step-by-Step #

1. Open android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Find:

<application
    android:label="Old App Name"

Change it to:

<application
    android:label="Your New App Name"

2. Optional: Change display name in launcher icon using flutter_launcher_icons (if not already set).

🍏 iOS #

🔧 Step-by-Step #

1. Open ios/Runner/Info.plist

Find or add:

<key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
<string>Your New App Name</string>

This changes the name shown on the home screen.

2. Optional (advanced): To change internal app name for analytics or provisioning, also update:

<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>Your New App Name</string>

🔁 After Changes #

Run:

flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter run

Notes #

• App name is local to device — it doesn’t affect the package name or App Store title.
• Changing the label doesn’t require republishing unless you’re updating the store name too.
