Overview
The launcher_name package allows developers to dynamically change and localize the launcher name of their Flutter app across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It simplifies the process of customizing the app's display name in the device's app drawer or home screen based on the user's locale. This is particularly useful for apps targeting international audiences that require different names in various languages. The package integrates seamlessly with Flutter’s localization system and requires minimal configuration.
