Can't compile code Error: No resource found that matches the given name

I am currently having multiple errors in the code when I am trying to compile the code and I can't work out where I have gone wrong.

The errors I'm getting are in:

C:\Users\Jamie\AndroidStudioProjects\lifeWithASD\app\build\intermediates\manifests\
full\debug\AndroidManifest.xml

Error:(14, 24) No resource found that matches the given name 
(at 'label' with value '@string/app_name').
Error:(18, 28) No resource found that matches the given name 
(at 'label' with value '@string/app_name').

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: 
Process 'command 'C:\Users\Jamie\AppData\Local\Android\sdk3\build-tools\22.0.1\aapt.exe'' 
finished with non-zero exit value 1

I am not sure why I would be getting these errors on compile as I don't know what the @string/app name is referring to in the code.

So if you open your AndroidManifest.xml, from the opening at line 14, and the close at line 24, you need to make sure that you have a property called android:label="@string/app_name" if you do have that, then you need to open strings.xml inside of AppPath/res/values and create a String resource called app_name.

The second part of the error is the same issue.

To add a string into the xml file:

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