How to change app name per Gradle build type

by

If by “app name”, you mean android:label on <application>, the simplest solution is to have that point at a string resource (e.g., android:label="@string/app_name"), then have a different version of that string resource in a src/debug/ sourceset.

You can see that in this sample project, where I have a replacement for app_name in src/debug/res/values/strings.xml, which will be applied for debug builds. release builds will use the version of app_name in src/main/.
