Hi @knipferrc , the new path for ReactNativeFlipper.java has been added since v3.2.9.

also the previous folder "android/app/src/release/java/com/awesomeproject" is currently not being deleted but, every content from there should be moved to "android/app/src/release/java/com/new/bundle".

@junedomingo Yeah I saw support was added in 3.2.9, but for some reason for me, its ignoring the release folder. Created a fresh react-native project and this is whats happening for me. It renames everything else but not the release folder. I had to add package name to the AndroidManifest.xml file as well for it to run. Maybe i'm doing something incorrectly?

[junedomingo]

I think you're using the old version. try npx react-native-rename@latest "AwesomeProject" -b "com.test.app"

[mistakenelf]

ahh ok yeah that seems to be the case. After adding the latest tag on there it worked. I think the reason its not working in my other app is the app name is only 3 characters which seems to throw and error since the minimum character count is 4. Any way around that?

[junedomingo]

For names, the minimum is 1 and the maximum is 30. If your app name only contains < 4 valid characters, it will ask you to provide pathContentStr to be used in renaming the folders, files, and their contents.

What you can do is something like this npx react-native-rename@latest "Awe" -p "AwesomeApp" -b "com.awesome.app".

pathContentStr - a string that is close to your app name

[mistakenelf]

When passing a content string though it looks like it’s renaming it to that string. Is there a way to keep the name at the 3 valid characters as I would prefer not to change it. Really I just need to be able to change the bundle ids and not the name

[junedomingo]

@knipferrc could you provide an example? name and bundleId? (with exact number of characters)

[junedomingo]

npx react-native-rename@latest "dem" -p "demo app"
ios/demoapp RENAMED
ios/demoapp.xcworkspace RENAMED
ios/demoappTests RENAMED
ios/demoappTests/demoappTests.m RENAMED

above, it uses a 3-character name "dem", if your run it, your app should be named "dem"

I will close this now as the real issue was already resolved.
