Capacitor Application Name
-
I ned to change the name of my capacitor application, I’ve changed the ‘appName’ field in the capacitor.config.json, and rebuild the applicant, but when installed on my phone it still has the old name, is there somewhere else I need to change it to get it work?
-
Did you uninstall the app before installing the version with the new name?
-
Yes unistalled andf reinstalled, done it a ferw times now, and still getting the original name.

@TimE try bumping the app version as well.
-
Done both clear and version bump, and app still has the same name when installed on android, any other suggestions?

other idea’s:
- Search the ‘name_that_will_not_go_away’ inside all the project files (can be done with Total Commander). Because it must be defined somewhere…
- deploy app to another phone
