I created react native (project A). I generated a apk file and installed it on my android phone.

Then, I copied the (project A) folder and develop (project B) with a different name, icon and features in that folder. And, I generated apk file. But I can't install (project B) while (project A) is installed on my phone.

Why? Please...

CodePudding user response：

You need to change the package name of the copied application to some other name.

Say project A package name is "com.projectA.app"

Rename project B's package name to "com.projectB.app"

This should fix the problem. Do a find of "com.projectA.app" in your whole app folder, that should help you more.

Or you can use a plugin to do it for you. "react-native-rename" I haven't personally used it but seems to get the job done.
