UPDATE: From the comments this answer seems to be out of date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

There is a plugin.

https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_launcher_name

Write 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 AndroidManifes.xml and Info.plist.

The way of changing the name for ios and android clearly mentioned on the documentation as follows:

https://flutter.dev/docs/deployment/android https://flutter.dev/docs/deployment/ios

but, the case of ios after you change the Display Name from Xcode you cannot able to run the application on 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 follow:

move to the location on your flutter project

ios/Runner.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj and find and replace your new name with Runner

then everything should work on flutter run way

but don't forget to change the name display name on your next release time. otherwise, AppStore reject your name.

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

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

Answer 5

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

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.
