Step - 2: Rename the Application, Bundle id, App Id
When you create a new Flutter project, it comes with default names and IDs for the application and its bundle. However, you may want to change these to better reflect your project and make it easier to identify.
To rename the application, bundle ID, and app ID, you can use the rename package available on pub.dev.
Here are the steps involved:
Install the rename package
To install the rename package, you need to activate the package by running the following command in your terminal:
pub global activate rename
This command installs the rename package globally on your system.
Rename the application
To rename the application, use the following command:
pub global run rename --appname "NewAppName"
Replace NewAppName with the name you want to give your application. This command renames the application in all files and directories in your project.
Rename the bundle ID
The bundle ID is a unique identifier for your app that is used to distinguish it from other apps. To rename the bundle ID, use the following command:
pub global run rename --bundleId com.company.newappname
Replace com.company.newappname with a new bundle ID that is unique to your app. Note that the bundle ID should follow the reverse domain name notation format.
Rename the app ID
The app ID is a unique identifier for your app that is used to identify it in the Apple Developer Portal. To rename the app ID, use the following command:
pub global run rename --app-id com.company.newappname
Replace com.company.newappname with a new app ID that is unique to your app.
Verify the changes
After running the above commands, you should verify that the changes have been made correctly. Run your app and check the name and bundle ID in the app and in the app's directory.
That's it! These are the steps involved in renaming your application, bundle ID, and app ID using the rename package in Flutter.
a few more details:
Renaming the bundle ID is important when you plan to publish your app on the App Store or Google Play Store because it's used to uniquely identify your app. If you don't use a unique bundle ID, your app may clash with other apps on the store or with apps already installed on a user's device.
The app ID is used for Apple's App Store Connect and Google's Play Console to identify your app. It's important to have a unique app ID to avoid confusion with other apps.
When you rename your app using the rename package, it updates the following files: pubspec.yaml, android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, ios/Runner/Info.plist, and test/widget_test.dart.
After renaming the app, bundle ID, and app ID, it's important to check that everything works correctly, including any dependencies or third-party libraries you're using. It's also a good idea to test the app on multiple devices and platforms to make sure there are no issues.
I hope this helps!
