Change package name for Android in React Native

Question

I used react-native init MyApp to initialise a new React Native app. This created among others an Android project with the package com.myapp.

Answer 1

Go to file android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml -

Update :

attr android:label of Element application as :

Old value - android:label="@string/app_name"

New Value - android:label="(string you want to put)"

and

attr android:label of Element activity as :

Old value - android:label="@string/app_name"

New Value - android:label="(string you want to put)"

Worked for me, hopefully it will help.
