If you want to maintain localization for the app name in different flavors, then you can achieve it as follows:

1) Specify android:label in available in AndroidManifest.xml as follows:

2) Specify default value fo appLabel in app level build.gradle:

manifestPlaceholders = [appLabel:"@string/defaultName"]

3) Override the value for product flavors as follows:

productFlavors {
    AppFlavor1 {
        manifestPlaceholders = [appLabel:"@string/flavor1"]
    }
    AppFlavor2 {
        manifestPlaceholders = [appLabel:"@string/flavor2"]
    }

}

4) Add string resources for each of Strings (defaultName, flavor1, flavor2) in your strings.xml. This will allow you to localize them.
