Change package name for Android in React Native


I've renamed the project' subfolder from: "android/app/src/main/java/MY/APP/OLD_ID/" to: "android/app/src/main/java/MY/APP/NEW_ID/"

Then manually switched the old and new package ids:

In:android/app/src/main/java/MY/APP/NEW_ID/MainActivity.java:

package MY.APP.NEW_ID;

In android/app/src/main/java/MY/APP/NEW_ID/MainApplication.java:

package MY.APP.NEW_ID;

In android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

package="MY.APP.NEW_ID"

And in android/app/build.gradle:

applicationId "MY.APP.NEW_ID"

In android/app/BUCK:

android_build_config(  package="MY.APP.NEW_ID")android_resource(  package="MY.APP.NEW_ID")

Gradle' cleaning in the end (in /android folder):

./gradlew clean


I use the react-native-rename* npm package. Install it via

npm install react-native-rename -g

Then, from the root of your React Native project, execute the following:

react-native-rename "MyApp" -b com.mycompany.myapp


To change the package name from com.myapp to: com.mycompany.myapp (for example),

  1. For iOS app of the react app, use xcode - under general.
  2. For the android app, open the build.gradle at module level. The one in the android/app folder. You will find
// ...defaultConfig {     applicationId com.myapp     // ...}// ...

Change the com.myapp to whatever you need.

Hope this helps.
