Android Question Editing the app name after the apk is compiled

[Jaco vd Walt]

I am working on a project, which is not listed on the Google play store. This makes life much easier as all of the android features are actually available to use.
The user gets a sms with a https link from which they download the apk.

A nice feature would have been if I could somehow rename the app name, and the logo so that the user gets a personalized experience. In other words, downloading an app with their selected logo (they setup these options on a web page before the link is sent) and with the app title including their business name.
I am already showing their logo once the app is open. But having the icon with their logo would be super cool.

I am not so much concerned over the apk name, that could (and should) stay the same. However, is there a way to update the apk file after it has been compiled ?

I extracted the file, and expected the title to be in the manifest.xml file. However the file is encrypted.

Any insight would be much appreciated. (I am also willing to make use of third party command line software if something like that is available)

PS : I think the logo shouldn't be to hard to change (probably in the assets folder), haven't tested yet. Main concern for now is the title

Thnx!

It is not possible to change anything after the APK is signed.

The best option is to use the command line builder to build the app after you programmatically modify the #ApplicationLabel attribute in the b4a file.
