How to avoid released android app from showing apps package name

I'd like to release my app on the google play store. Currently the app's name is shown right, but in the options to uninstall the app, it's full package name is shown and I'd like to avoid this and instead show the app's name there, too.

Is this possible and if so how would I accomplish it?

Here's my manifest file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Just remove android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" from your application tag in AndroidManifest file ,it will definitely remove the problem.

android:label was missing in manifests application tag. When I added it first nothing changed but I tested it again today and the "error" is gone.
