package.json:
{ "name": "uberninjaftw", "productName": "Uber Ninja", "version": "2.3.4", "main": "src/main.js",
etc...
note this also fails if I put it in forge config:
module.exports = { outDir: '/Users/daniel/Documents/un_out', packagerConfig: { name: "Uber Ninja",
Also..... Im not sure if I should put this in a separate issue but it would be great to also support special characters in the app name. It should be Über Ninja not Uber Ninja
This setup has always worked for me: https://www.electronforge.io/config/makers/squirrel.windows#spaces-in-the-app-name
