How to remove trailiing "App" name from project
james-mcdougall opened this issue · comments
Recently found and installed SkipTools and I am already loving it! You guys rock and this is awesome!
However, as I run the application for testing I notice that on the simulators, the app launches with the name "MyExampleApp" when I just want to have it launch with "MyExample" I have looked through the documentation and have removed any indication of where this could be. I have looked around in the info.plist and the one section that I am finding is to change the name here:
Targets > Build Settings > Project Name:
Changing from "MyExampleApp" to "MyExample" produces build errors. I have even tried creating new schemes and to no resolve.
It continuously says that I have derived data builds, however I have completely deleted my entire derived data cache. Attached is a screenshot of the error
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The trailing "App" is currently required. The way skip init --appid=… project-name MyExample works is it creates a pure SPM project with a "MyExample" project and target (plus test cases, etc.). And then, because of the appid flag, it creates a MyExample.xcodeproj that embeds the Project.swift and includes the "MyExample".
In the Xcode project we create the "MyExampleApp" scheme to launch the whole thing. We can't name it the same as the module itself (Xcode will complain), but you could theoretically name it "MyExampleSomethingElse".
We recommend just sticking with "App" suffix for the time being, since that is the happy path. You can always rename your app name and other information from the .xcconfig file, so the scheme name of "MyExampleApp" shouldn't have any effect on the end product.
We hope to add some more options to the skip init command that let you control things like the scheme name. Stay tuned!
