new app using name from previous app, why?

I created a new app by copying an existing app. I changed all the class names in all the source files, changed the filenames for the View and App files, ran a new 32-character hex code in the manifest, selected the entry point using the new app class name in the manifest. Created a new configuration for the new project, generated a .prg file with the new name, and loaded it into the apps folder. The new file shows up in the APPS folder. On the watch, I now see two separate IQ app names that are identical names, one for the original app with that name, one for the new app that I copied it to.

I haven't done this a lot, so I'm not sure where else there could be a reference to the original project I copied, what have I missed?

I'm pretty sure I've covered all the steps I've done before where I get a new/unique app name displayed on the watch, so this has me stumped.

The app name that you see on the watch (as opposed to the name in the store and mobile apps), comes from the string referenced in the app manifest by the name attribute of the iq:application tag.

e.g. In the following example, the app name comes from AppName string.

<iq:application ... name="@Strings.AppName" ...>

Have you changed that string?

thanks, that was it. I thought I only had to change the "entry=" part shown below, but I was wondering why the "App" part never shows up on the watch, now it all makes sense. I think I knew this a year ago when I was building things from scratch, but have forgotten it because I rarely write apps these days.
