How to add a space in the name of the app?

[lexum0]

If you create an app called "My App" it creates the app as MyApp. Skip.env states // PRODUCT_NAME is the default title of the app, which must match the app's Swift module name

How do you make the app show up as "My App" with a space instead of all together?
I tried using CFBundleDisplayName and clearing caches but it doesn't seem work, so I'm not sure if it's supposed to be done in a different way.

CFBundleDisplayName should work for the iOS side (specified either in the project's .xcconfig as INFOPLIST_KEY_CFBundleDisplayName (see https://github.com/skiptools/skipapp-showcase/blob/main/Darwin/Showcase.xcconfig), or the Darwin/Info.plist):

INFOPLIST_KEY_CFBundleDisplayName = App Name

But that won't do anything on the Android side. For the Android side, you need to do it in the AndroidManifest.xml (see https://github.com/skiptools/skipapp-showcase/blob/main/Android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L46C1-L53C1), like:

    <application
        android:label="Skip Showcase"
        android:name=".AndroidAppMain"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">

Thank you! I finally got it working on iOS, the only one I'm missing is macOS. Does the Mac app need a different setting? I already cleared caches but it's not updating.

How do you localize the app name? Is the Strings Catalog supported or do you need to localize the Info.plist file? And is localization supported on Android? Thank you

// The user-visible name of the app (localizable)
//INFOPLIST_KEY_CFBundleDisplayName = App Name

I noticed this key writes the value to Info.plist, does it insert the value to Android too or only iOS?

For Android localization, you'd need to do something like android:label="@string/app_name" in the AndroidManifest.xml and then create a string resource (see https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro#application). For iOS, the normal Info.plist localization mechanism should be used (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/AboutInformationPropertyListFiles.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009254-102276).

Note that in general, all the stuff under Android/ and Darwin/ is unmanaged by Skip once it has been initially scaffolded by skip create , so you have complete freedom to manage stuff under there as you see fit.

I'll try it. macOS isn't working I'll give it a few days to see if it's some stale cache. Thank you for the answer!
