Rebrand your Flutter application using one command from terminal

Flutter App Rebrand

Flutter App Rebrand automates the process of rebranding a Flutter application by updating the package name, launcher icon, and app name across both Android and iOS platforms. It ensures a smooth transition when you need to rebrand an app for new clients, products, or design overhauls.

---

Features

• Package Name Update: Automatically updates the package name for both Android and iOS.
• App Name Update: Changes the app name that is displayed on the device.
• Directory Structure Refactoring: Moves the MainActivity to the correct new package directory and deletes the old one.
• iOS Bundle Identifier Update: Updates the iOS product bundle identifier (Runner.xcodeproj).
• Launcher Icon Update: Replaces the app’s launcher icon with a new one, updating for both platforms. Optional if flutter_launcher_icons package is not being used.
• iOS Archive Name Update: This package also updates the generated archive name as per the provided appName

---

What It does?

• ✅ Updates AndroidManifest.xml, build.gradle and MainActivity in both Java and Kotlin
• ✅ Moves MainActivity to the new package directory structure and deletes old one
• ✅ Generate & updates old ic_launcher icons with new ones
• ✅ Updates Product Bundle Identifier in iOS (Runner.xcodeproj)
• ✅ Generate & updates AppIcons and ImageSets

---

How It Works

This package uses a configuration file (rebrand_config.json) to automatically apply all the necessary changes to your Flutter app. Once the configuration file is set up, the rebranding process runs smoothly without the need for manual edits to each platform-specific file.

Usage

Step 1: Define Your Input Configuration

Option 1: Manually creating json file

Create a JSON configuration file in your project's root directory, such as rebrand_config.json, with the following structure:

{
  "ios": {
    "packageName": "com.sarj33t.ios",
    "launcherIconPath": "../FAR-logo.png",
    "appName": "Panda iOS"
  },
  "android": {
    "packageName": "com.sarj33t.android",
    "launcherIconPath": "../FAR-logo.png",
    "appName": "Panda Droid"
  }
}

copied to clipboard

Configuration Details:

iOS:

• packageName: Unique bundle identifier for the iOS app.
• launcherIconPath: Path to the iOS launcher icon file.
• appName: Display name for the iOS app.

Android:

• packageName: Unique package name for the Android app.
• launcherIconPath: Path to the Android launcher icon file.
• appName: Display name for the Android app.

Notes:

• The configuration can be platform-specific or identical for both iOS and Android.
• Ensure the launcherIconPath points to a valid image file relative to the configuration file.

Option 2: Auto Generate JSON Config file

Run the following command in your terminal:

dart run flutter_app_rebrand:build

This command will generate the rebrand_config.json JSON file that contains the new package name, path to the new launcher icon, and the updated app name.

---

Step 2: Run the Rebranding Command

Execute the following command in your terminal:

dart run flutter_app_rebrand

• This will rebrand your Flutter application based on the properties that you've defined in rebrand_config.json file

flutter build ios
