I uploaded my app to the play store, and it shows up regular in the play store, but when downloaded, on my home screen it shows up with underscores rather than spaces. I think this is also changing search results because when I search with underscores it is the first result but without then I can’t even find it. So how do I remove underscores from showing up in the app name?

Try changing [`android:label`](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element#label) in the application tag in the sketch manifest.
