How to change React Native app name (iOS / Android)

In the example below I have a sample app that I named owler_franchise in the setup process.

Now I want to change that to Owler Franchise.

• iOS

For iOS, go to ios folder and find the folder named after your project name.
In my case I called it owler_franchise. Inside that folder find the Info.plist file.

Inside Info.plist file replace the value after <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key> to your app name.

For my example, I changed it to Owler Franchise.

That's it for iOS 👍.

• Android

For Android: Go to the following folder in order: android > app > src > main > res > values and open strings.xml file, replace the <string name="app_name"> tag's value.

Again, in my example, I changed it to Owler Franchise:

That's it for Android too ✅.
