I published my app in google play store and tried to find it. But I found it by project name. My project name wasn't like app name.

But many people installed my app. How can I change the name without uploading a new app?

Project name is: quarrynew

App name is: quarry

I changed my project name and uploaded it. But it wasn't changed. I'm waiting a few days.

People can find my application by typing "quarrynew". But never find it by typing "quarry".

Application name is "quarry". Only project name and filename was "quarrynew".

<string name="app_name">Quarry</string>

The project name will not be used in Google Play Store. And the "app_name" is generally used for your title bar or as title in the android launcher,desktop,..

The display name of your App in Google Play Store is defined in the application settings in https://play.google.com/apps/publish/ changes may take some time(hours,days).
