Rebuilding expo bundle with a different slug

Question

I changed the name of a React Native/Expo app and wanted to change the slug to go with it, but got the error "CombinedError: [GraphQL] Experience with name '@-----/newName' does not exist". Using the old slug, it still works. Is there any way to rebuild the app with a different slug?

Just had this same problem.

• Check your app.json and look for the field expo.extra.eas.projectId and delete it.
• Now try to run your build again, a new projectId will be generated.

This seems to have worked for me, hope it helps.

This is the wrong answer! Do not do this. The project id is needed for notifications and such. It was added to app.json for a reason either manually or by running init. The right answer is to ensure your slug in app.json matches the project slug in Expo. – Equiponderate

Ok, what if you really need to change the slug, how do you do that? @Equiponderate – Daltondaltonism

NEW UPDATE

Goto app.json. Find slug name and "extra": { "eas": { "projectId": your previous ID } },

Change to new slug name and also new project ID

What worked for me was creating a new project on Expo. You can go create one by clicking on All Projects ->

Make sure to match the slug of this new project to the one you specify in app.json and you should be good to go.

This is the right answer. If you have a project named example-app in Expo but your expo slug in app.json is example then it will fail. The above answer about removing the projectId is not the right answer. – Equiponderate
