Air 3.1 app name = file name

I saw a topic about this going on but none of the posts in there helped me.

With 3.1 the app name field seems to be ignored and instead the file name is what shows up in iTunes and on the phone.

What's the solution other than naming your .fla file the name of your app, gets really cluttered and confusing especially when working on the same app thats for both iOS and Android and phones and tablets.

Alright figured it out.

Get rid of the <name> tag where your current app name is all together.

Instead use the localized name tag.

<!-- To localize the name, use the following format for the name element.-->

<name><text xml:lang="en">App Name</text>name>

Works like it should, not sure what happens if I switch languages but I would guess it would default to the english name if other language names are not available.

**Edit need to keep the french and japanese tags otherwise wont work, I just used the same name for all 3 of them.

<!-- To localize the name, use the following format for the name element.-->

<name>

<text xml:lang="en">App Name</text>

<text xml:lang="fr">App Name</text>

<text xml:lang="ja">App Name</text>

</name>
