Renaming a React Native project?

react-native

You can change the name attribute in package.json, run react-native upgrade, and just let react overwrite the android/ios files. Don't overwrite your index files if there is unsaved code, however.

Then change your Appregistry line from

AppRegistry.registerComponent('MyAppIOS', () => MyAppIOS);

To:

AppRegistry.registerComponent('MyApp', () => MyApp);

The way I did this for android (hacky, but it works) is just changed the string app_name field in

android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

It will change the name of your installed android app to whatever you put as the value.


What simply works for me several times is instructed below;

  • First copy the directory which your to-be-name-changed application exists. And go to your newly cloned directory.
  • Change the name at index.ios/android.js file which is given as a parameter to AppRegistry.
  • Change the name and version accordingly on package.json
  • delete /ios and /android folders which are remaining from your older app as well as the app.json file if you have.
  • run $react-native upgrade to generate /ios and /android folders again.
  • run $react-native link for any external dependency.
  • finally run $react-native run-ios or anything you want.
