This might be some confusion on my part on Account vs. Organization, what confuses me is the following:
The docs state
You’ll need to choose a name for your Organization. Once you have created the organization, you will not be able to rename it. To associate projects with an Organization, you will need to add the Owner key to your project’s app.json
See: Account types - Expo Documentation
However, if I 1) log into expo.dev, 2) select my organization whose name I want to change from the dropdown list in the top left corner (let’s call it badOrgName), 3) go to Overview, 4) it now says “Account overview”, with “Account information” just below it, displaying “Name: badOrgName” (along with Plan and Members info).
- This seems to be the Organization name. Why is it shown as the Account name? Are the two the same?
- Below “Account information” there’s a field to “Rename account”. Will this rename the Organization name? The docs said that wasn’t possible but it feels like it’s possible here.
I haven’t gone through the process of renaming the Account as I’m not sure if it’s renaming the Org or not and I don’t want any unintended consequences but the docs seem to suggest it’s both possible and very simple: Account types - Expo Documentation
Can someone clarify this?
In the end, my problem is that I’m working on an app belonging to an Organization whose name we’d like to change.
Yes, Organization can be renamed for a limited number of time. Please have a look at our updated docs:
