I have a simple app ready for deploy. When I run the apk file in my android device, the name shown is @0x7f040000 instead of AppName. I have changed the name in the config.xml but it doesn’t change it still.

Thanks

Are you changing the name of the app in the `<name>` tag? Also, be sure to completely uninstall the app before installing a new one with a changed config file. These changes tend to not take affect until the previous app is uninstalled.
