Can you create a project with what values you tried to change and where to reproduce what your screenshots show? It'll help so we can know exactly what you tried to change.

Sure, just added at the bottom of the issue @drasticactions

@drasticactions which area should I move this issue to? Doesn't seem to be Blazor specific.
From @mhrastegari on Mon, 19 Jun 2023 18:48:26 GMT
Yeah, it's not related to Blazor @mkArtakMSFT
I think @jsuarezruiz should replace Blazor label with Mac Catalyst.

@drasticactions Will it be fixed in .NET 8 GA? because I'm on RC1 and the MacCatalyst app name issue is still there!

Verified this issue with Visual Studio for mac 17.6.8 (build 400). Can repro on iOS platforms with sample project.

We have the same issue when setting the in the csproj file with a space between two words. On iOS the space is then missing.
Does anybody has a workaround?

This is still an issue.

Another fun tidbit. If the assembly name has spaces in it, it breaks debugging. A simple condition to the property fixes that.

For iOS, the removal of spaces is intended behavior per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44275567/how-can-i-add-spaces-to-the-app-name

This is kind of interesting, on iOS the name of the app bundle isn't visible anywhere for the end user, while for Mac Catalyst it's apparently quite visible.
Should we come up with a public MSBuild property for this? And then .NET MAUI's
$(ApplicationTitle)could also set it?
Seems like just making _AppBundleName default to $(ApplicationTitle) for Mac Catalyst (and macOS as well I suppose) in our props file would do it.
Moving to xamarin/xamarin-macios, because that's where this should be fixed.
