Disable app name or package name to be detected

Question

I'm working on an application in which I want to restrict other apps to get my app or package name. Is it possible to do it? As of now, I didn't find anything helpful.

Answer 1

There is no way to hide your package name or app in general, otherwise viruses would be hard to find and uninstall.

App name can kind of be hidden, but not from App Managers. What you can do is give a different name to the Launchable activity.

So your App can be called "My App - Best App Ever" in the PlayStore (Name is unrelated to the others), then your app name is "My App Name" declared in Manifest and then the launchable activity can be called "Launchable"

Users will see the second one (real app name) when uninstalling/managing your app through app managers and the Launchable name will be visible in Launchers and some other cases.
