Renaming a React Native project?

Question

Are there instructions for what needs to be changed in order to rename a React Native project? I have an app called something along the lines of MyAppIOS and I want to rename it to simply MyApp (now that Android support is out)

Answer 1

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);
