  • Ensure that the same name is used consistently across these three configurations to maintain proper functionality.

Customization ​

App Name ​

  • Android: To change the app name on Android, you need to update the android:label attribute in the application tag within the AndroidManifest.xml file.
  • iOS: For iOS, you can change the app name by updating the CFBundleDisplayName value in the Info.plist file. This file is typically located within the ios/Runner directory of your Flutter project.
