When uploading a bundled version of your Android app to Google Play Console, you might need to change your Package Name / Application ID to satisfy Google Play Console rules.
If you are getting an error like the following (or something similar)
You need to use a different package name because "com.***.***.***" already exists in Google Play
Then try out the following steps.
Change Package Name / Application ID in Android app built with React Native.
- In VSCode go to the Search
- Enter your current Package Name / Application ID in the search text input.
NOTE: If you don't know what's your current Package Name / Application ID, you can find it within the android/app/build.gradle
file, in the applicationId
field. In my case, the current Package Name / Application ID is com.papitas
.
- Enter the path to your
android
directory in thefiles to include
text input.
In my case my android
directory lives under projectrootdir/apps/mobile/android
yours could be different,
This will display all the instances of the string com.papitas
.
- Use the "Replace" text input to replace your current Package Name / Application ID for the new one.
That's it!
