Is it possible to change the name of an Expo project without having to go through the entire process of building it again and submitting to the app store?
I accidentally didn't update the project name in the app.json file and now am stuck with an app called exmilti
in TestFlight.
It took a few days to build, submit, and get the approval for TestFlight so I would love to avoid that process if there is a simple fix.
When I attempt to rebuild it in the CLI with the new name I get an error:
Reason: Unexpected response, raw: {"responseId":"ed00c05f-82a0-41d6-9a7c-b48d04e68a1a","resultCode":35,"resultString":"There were errors in the data supplied. Please correct and re-submit.","userString":"Multiple profiles found with the name 'com.myComapanyName.AppName AppStore'. Please remove the duplicate profiles and try again."
Which means to me that I am going to have to fully remove the app from TestFlight (yikes) and then re-upload the newly named App and wait for them to approve it again.
Any advice?
Update - I did not find an easier way so I just compiled the project and pushed it via expo again with the correct name.
It didn't take as long as I had expected.
