Android Studio resets project name on Gradle reload

[ath0mas]

Bug Report

Problem

What is expected to happen?

Since v9.1.0 and #1173, the app name is pushed as project name for IntelliJ IDEA / Android Studio, and is supposed to persist.

What does actually happen?

As soon as a Gradle reload is done the project name is automaticaly reset back to android instead of the app name ; the .name file inside .idea/ is deleted by IntelliJ IDEA (same for Android Studio?).
Such reload is done on first project open, sync, with manual "Reload Gradle Project" action, or "Reload All Gradle Projects" button.

Information

Changing project name in Android Studio may have different meanings and solutions (see this so for example).
For Cordova Android it is clear that the project directory inside /platforms has to stay as it is, android, and changing project name is only for the IDE title and "Open Recent" list.

I tried a suggested solution adding rootProject.name = "Hello World" inside settings.gradle at root, without any .name file inside .idea/. It seams fine and persists after Gradle reloads 👍 .

Command or Code

cordova create hello com.example.hello "Hello World"
cd hello/
cordova platform add android

then "Open" platforms/android/ with IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio

Environment, Platform, Device

IntelliJ IDEA 2020 and 2021, and Android Studio(not tested)

Version information

Cordova CLI 10.0.0
Cordova Android 9.1.0
Windows 10
