Unable to rename react-native init typescript project

[lyqht]

I'm trying out the package to rename a RN project is created from the typescript template by running

npx react-native-rename "NewApp"

however, I encountered an error that says the following

Need to install the following packages:
  react-native-rename
Ok to proceed? (y) y
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Package no longer supported. Contact [email protected] for more info.
Directory should be created using "react-native init"

I'm pretty sure it was created with react-native init, so I'm not sure what is the actual error.
