How to change application name in NativeScript

Go into app >> App_Resources >> Android >> values folder.

There should be a strings.xml file - if not create it.

The content should be

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <string name="app_name">DISPLAY APP NAME</string> <string name="title_activity_kimera">APK NAME</string> </resources>

p.s. these stackoverflow content check error messages are annoying!!!

For the Angular flavor of NativeScript:

Android app name:

App_Resources/Android/src/main/res/values/strings.xml. Create it if it does not exist. Content is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <string name="app_name">DISPLAY APP NAME</string>
  <string name="title_activity_kimera">APK NAME</string>
</resources>

iOS App Name

In /Users/ryan/projects/snaptab-mobile-app/App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist replace the <string>${PRODUCT_NAME}</string> value of CFBundleDisplayName with your app name. Ex: <string>My NS APP</string>.

this worked for me:

For Android

create App_Resources/Android/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="app_name">MyAppName</string>
    <string name="title_activity_kimera">MyAppName</string>
</resources>

For IOS

The value is stored in the app/App_Resources/iOS/Info.plist file as the CFBundleDisplayName key. just changed to your custom app name https://docs.nativescript.org/tooling/publishing/publishing-ios-apps#app-name
