I have a React Native app that has Display Name theApp:

enter image description here

I want to change it to The App. However, I'm hesitant to just change it in that box in XCode because there are now instances of theApp elsewhere in the autogenerated code, and in the Bundle Identifier etc.

Has anyone changed a Display Name like this before? Do you know how I should approach it?

    You can safely change display name property. And this is a possible duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38580858/how-to-change-display-name-of-an-app-in-react-native. – Nostromo Aug 20 '20 at 05:16
  • You guys are correct. This is a duplicate of that question. Problem solved. – gkeenley Aug 20 '20 at 21:34

You should be able to edit the name in your targets (what you have in the picture) if that's not working for you I recommend changing the name in the app.json file in your react native project.

  • I didn't try changing the name there yet because one of the other commenters pointed out there's an article that shows how to do it in Info.plist, and I don't want to try anything else that could break anything. Thanks for your insight! – gkeenley Aug 20 '20 at 21:35
