Rename app in google play store

I published my app in google play store and tried to find it. But I found it by project name. My project name wasn't like app name.

But many people installed my app. How can I change the name without uploading a new app?

Project name is: quarrynew

App name is: quarry

I changed my project name and uploaded it. But it wasn't changed. I'm waiting a few days.

People can find my application by typing "quarrynew". But never find it by typing "quarry".

Application name is "quarry". Only project name and filename was "quarrynew".

<string name="app_name">Quarry</string>

In 2023 You need to go "Grow" section right under the "Release" section. There is "Store presence" then "Main store listing". There you can change or update your app name, short description, full description, and graphics.

Google reads the appName from your gradle file (not from Manifest or string files). You must change the appName: File/Project Structute/Variables:android - appName.

The project name will not be used in Google Play Store. And the "app_name" is generally used for your title bar or as title in the android launcher,desktop,..

The display name of your App in Google Play Store is defined in the application settings in https://play.google.com/apps/publish/ changes may take some time(hours,days).

App can be easily renamed in StoreListing, unable to showcase image due to rep points.

Initially we had issues when we were trying to rename our app from Punch to AhaPunch but after 15days we were able to do so successfully.

You should rename your app(s) on the Play Store, where you have uploaded it.
