Change Published/Author Name

Hi,
Beginner developer here. I have searched quite a bit and this may be a silly oversight on my part. How does one change the app author/publisher name on Connect IQ store ?

Log in here:
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/settings/publicProfile

and change visible name. This affects name in CIQ app store.

Also there is a preference page with your data:
https://my.garmin.com/mygarmin/customers/updateAccountInformation.faces
It can appear in LiveTrack sessions.
Some data stored there:
https://my.garmin.com/mygarmin/customers/updateCustomerInfo.faces
May be it is a duplicate.

Thanks, Changed in all these place. The published name under the connectiq app is still incorrect.

The name of the app as displayed on the watch is set within the [FONT=Courier New]manifest.xml[/FONT] file, which usually is a reference to an entry in the [FONT=Courier New]strings.xml[/FONT] resource file.

<iq:application entry="MyAppClassName" id="" launcherIcon="@Drawables.LauncherIcon" minSdkVersion="1.2.0" name="@Strings.AppName" type="watchface">

So make sure you change the actual name of the app there, in this case by changing the AppName string.

Cheers,
Douglas

Thanks. I meant "Publisher" instead of Published. The application name is editable even on the app store however I was referring to the name of the author that shows up right below the application name.

Ah. That is your all-things-Garmin username, which I don't believe can be changed.
