Description

Two files, one for ios and one for android have a template string as the name of the app. In both files it's Hello App Display Name.

I tried running react-native init Bla using the latest react-native-cli and it worked well, replacing these strings with Bla.
Using the latest @react-native-community/cli, the strings were not replaced.

Reproducible Demo

Run npx react-native init Bla
Open file Bla/ios/Bla/Info.plist and Bla/android/app/src/main/res/values/string.xml and notice that in both files there is the string Hello App Display Name as the project's name.

This should normally be Bla in our case.
