How to change the name of Windows phone application?

I have a Windows Phone 8.1 project under VS 2013.

I go to PivotPange.xaml, and ItemPage.xaml and change from:

<Pivot x:Uid="Pivot" Title="My Application" x:Name="pivot" CommonNavigationTransitionInfo.IsStaggerElement="True">

to

<Pivot x:Uid="Pivot" Title="New Title" x:Name="pivot" CommonNavigationTransitionInfo.IsStaggerElement="True">

But after I rebuild and re-run it under emulator, the title does not change. Can you please tell how can I change the title of the Windows app?

  1. Clean up your project (Solution Explorer | right click project | Clean)
  2. Solution Explorer | [project] | Properties | open WMAppManisfest.xml
  3. On tab "Application UI" change "Display Name" field.

All you did was change the pivot text, not the application name. If you want to change the name of the application you have to edit the project's manifest.

To edit the manifest, go into the project properties (right-click the project in the Solution Explorer and select Properties). In the project properties, click the Application tab. Then click the Package Manifest.. button. In the Manifest Editor, change the Display Name of your application in the Application tab.
