What is the best way to rename app (bare workflow)?

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: expo@45.0.3
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android and ios
  3. Add the appropriate “Tag” based on what Expo library you have a question on.

you can rename your android app in string.xml, and you can edit your IOS app name in xcode under general tab in project folder

And is there an easy way to change package name?

Maybe try this to see what changes in the native projects when you change the name in a managed app, but there might be quite a lot of changes:

$ npm create expo-app -- OldName
$ cd OldName
$ expo prebuild
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Old name"
[Edit app.json to change OldName to NewName
$ expo prebuild --clean
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "New name"
# At this point Git will output a lot of stuff like "rename path/{OldName => NewName}/file.name (99%)"
# That means it renamed the file and there were also a few changes in the file.
# If it says 100% then it was just a rename
# Then show the Android changes as follows. You'll see the file/directory renames in the header of each part of the diff
$ git show  --  android
# Same for the iOS changes:
$ git show  --  ios

e.g.:

diff --git android/app/src/debug/java/com/example/OldName/ReactNativeFlipper.java android/app/src/debug/java/com/example/NewName/ReactNativeFlipper.java
similarity index 99%
rename from android/app/src/debug/java/com/example/OldName/ReactNativeFlipper.java
rename to android/app/src/debug/java/com/example/NewName/ReactNativeFlipper.java
