Describe the problem

In the section: https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/flavors#setting-up-launch-configurations It suggests... resValue "string", "app_name", "free flavor example" ...for I assume setting the android:label. However, after: flutter build apk --flavor free, and running it, it still has the original name of the app, and not the one provided in the resValue.

Expected fix

Add information on how to have an android flavored app with a specific application name. Or change it to the likes of...

free {
            dimension "default"
            applicationIdSuffix ".free"
            versionNameSuffix "-free"
            manifestPlaceholders = [appLabel: "Free <YourApp>"]
        }

...and update the AndroidManifest.xml with... <application android:label="{appLabel}" android:name="${applicationName}" android:icon="@mipmap/launcher_icon">
