Anyone knows of a way of getting in runtime the app name, title, description and logo (filename with extension)?

Was searching for the same thing. Somewhere the app knows it because the users service sends confirmation emails with the app name.

I don’t think there is currently a way to get this in a nice way (but I’ll add it internally as a feature request). However, your app’s title, description and logo can be found in the <head> tag of your app’s HTML, so if you import document from the JavaScript window at the top of your Form:

from anvil.js.window import document

…you can then access this meta data:

print(document.head.querySelector('[name=title]').content)
print(document.head.querySelector('[name=description]').content)
print(document.head.querySelector('[rel=icon]').href)
