Copying a project.
When I copy a project, I give the project folder a new name particularly if I want maintain the old version and create a new version with additional features. The problem with this is the compiled project takes the name from the folder name of the project which is a pain. For example if the initial is folder is myproject and I create a new folder myprojectwithfeatures, the file once installed becomes myprojectwithfeatures and not myproject. In sidekick, the project name/App name cannot be changed it is greyed out.
I realise that I can change the info.plist or manifest.xml file to change this, but that is not without its own problems. Given that Sidekick allows a considerable about of settings, changing the app name easily is not one of them and the App Name remains greyed out, taking its name from the App Folder.
Can this option be enabled so that the App Name is not dependent on the containing folder name.
Hey @mrwrighty,
This limitation is coming from the NativeScript CLI and allowing the rename of apps in Sidekick at this time will bring a lot of additional complexity, because the implementation will be similar to the manual modification of the Info.plist and AndroidManifest.xml files which, as you have mentioned, can lead to problems.
Having said that, we have logged this as a feature request in our backlog and we'll continue to look for a better way to implement such behavior and allow the renaming of apps through Sidekick.
