Where is Android app title in settings configured?

Multi tool use
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
We have an existing app about to release an update for; however, the update has changed the title of the app when seen in Settings/Apps.
Is that based on a setting in console (e.g. one of the titles we set there), or is it configured in the manifest / build?

Open the manifest.xml
and under the application
tag you must have this attribute:
android:label="myapplicationname"
You can change it there.
It's common practice to keep the app's name/title in strings.xml
:
<string name="app_name">myapplicationname</string>
and in the manifest keep a reference to it:
android:label="@string/app_name"
Thanks for the quick response!
