What rename_app does

rename_app is a command-line helper you run against a Flutter app project. From the project root (the folder where your app’s pubspec.yaml lives), it edits the platform files that expose the launcher / UI display name. For example: Android (AndroidManifest.xml label), iOS (Info.plist and variants when present), Web (manifest.json), Windows runner sources, and Linux application metadata.

It does not automatically change strings inside your Dart code (such as MaterialApp(title: …)): that stays up to you. For each platform, if the expected config file is missing or you pass an empty name for that platform, that platform is skipped and a short message may be logged.

Arguments like android="..." only update Android; omitting others leaves those platforms untouched. all="..." and config_name.name apply the same name across Android, iOS, Web, Windows, and Linux in one shot.

macOS renaming is currently not wired in the tool (mac CLI is listed for compatibility).

How To Rename ? 🛠

1) ADD THE PACKAGE TO YOUR pubspec.yaml

You only need the package to run dart run rename_app:main, so dev_dependency is typical for an app:

dart pub add rename_app --dev

Alternatively, add rename_app under dependencies: if your workflow prefers that.

2) PROVIDE THE APP NAME

Run commands from your Flutter project directory (pubspec.yaml must exist there). Names are arbitrary display strings — use quoting on the CLI when they contain spaces.

You can supply the app name in two complementary ways:

A — From pubspec.yaml (no CLI arguments)

Add a config_name block at the top level of pubspec.yaml (alongside name:, description:, etc.):

config_name:
  name: "My App"

• name must be a string. If config_name.name is present, running with zero arguments:

  dart run rename_app:main
  

  is equivalent to dart run rename_app:main all="My App" — same name for Android, iOS, Web, Windows, and Linux.

• pubspec.yaml must parse as YAML. If the block is missing, name is missing/wrong type, or reading the file fails, the tool prints the help message and exits (same as older versions without config_name).

• CLI always wins: as soon as you pass any argument (for example all="..." or android="..."), config_name is not used for that invocation.

B — From the CLI (explicit arguments)

Same name for all supported platforms:

Same name for all apps

dart run rename_app:main all="My App Name"

Separate name for specified platform(s) and same for all others

dart run rename_app:main android="Android Name" ios="IOS Name" others="Others Name"

Separate name for each platform

dart run rename_app:main android="Android Name" ios="IOS Name" web="Web Name" mac="Mac Name" windows="Windows Name" linux="Linux Name"
