How to change the name of Flutter Application?

Question

I just made a Flutter app following the instructions of this page, and I googled how to change the name of the application, and found this answer. But I can't change the name of the application from the manifest file. Initially android:name is io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication. I changed that to Startup Namer, and it gave the error

error: attribute 'android:name' in <application> tag must be a valid Java class name.

How to reslove this error and change the name?

Answer 1

The displayed name of the application is identified by the attribute android:label. You should change that one instead of android:name.

Answer 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>

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>

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