How to change name of app

RonNYC · February 2019

My project is Test21 in a folder named Test21. The solution is Test21.sln

BUT when I deploy the app to Android I would like a different name.

I've tried changing the package name in the Manifest but that didn't work. In fact, I had to restore from the last backup.

I haven't changed the Assembly title.

I've change the APK name but that also didn't work.

Where is the app's name stored?

could be android:label="@string/app_name" in manifest

I changed "@string/app_name" to "MyNewApp" and rebuilt and deployed but the name of the solution is what it is still called on Android.

Oh, in the Activity attribute!!! [Activity(Label="xxx", etc.)

Thanks.
