Looks good to me, adding External

There are 197 references of Expensify.cash in the source. Out of which, I think nearly 150 needs to be changed to New Expensify.

1. This includes readme and Contributor guidelines.
2. App Names.
3. Hard Codes Strings in the App.
4. Adding new URL new.expensify.com to multiple locations. Such as deep-linking.

Do you want to change all of that or just the APP names?

I can update the IOS app name via xcode. Electron Desktop App name from Code. Android App from Stringx.xml etc.

[Jag96]

@parasharrajat Good eye, I think we'd like to update all of those values as you mentioned, for example here's the last PR we used for renaming this: #975.

Job has been posted!

We can change the IOS app name in Display Name in Project target (General Tab) in xcode
The Andriod app name change from app.json and android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml
Web title change in web/index.html
desktop title change in mainWindow desktop/main.js

Proposal

My approach would be to use a Grunt script that will internally update the values for the AppName. For example, I've used react-native-rename earlier which ensures that the Xcode and Android files are updated properly.

In addition to this, we can then pull this value from a config/lang file to enable a quick single command update. This will ease out the process in the future.

Heads up, I am already making some of these changes in #4091. Mostly for copy that is shown to users.

[Jag96]

@parasharrajat your proposal looks good, I've invited you to the Upwork job, if you're interested in this one I'll assign you once accepted.

[MelvinBot]

@Jag96, @parasharrajat it looks like no one is assigned to work on this job.
Please double the price or add a comment stating why the job isn't being doubled.
