Hi,

I think it will not possible to change the app icon and name at run time using any API or content mgmt system. Because App icon get save in resources folder of the project. Also if make any changes in the App Name and app icon then we need to republish the applications as per OutSystems guidelines. So if by any way you are able to change App Icon or name still you need to republish the application.

Hi Rizky Ray,

It is possible to achieve this from outside the Outsystems environment, only with Android.

Can you suggest what is the use case that you're trying to implement? It may be worth sharing in case we have some ideas about implementing it in a different manner.

Hi Ravi,

For Android also you need to republish/reupload the application even if outside of OutSystems.

Hi Vikas,

You mean republish and reupload from Outsystems, or just modify externally and upload from the Google Play?

For both cases, If you are doing from Outside then also you need to reupload and if we are doing outside still we need to reupload the application. Also If I developed application in OutSystems so outside I will get only APK or bundle not any code. In this it will not be possible for me to change the app name.
