Jan sorry, I think I made a mistake on #3, I think overall what you suggested, is what we both agree an app name and project name, can be configure and specify.
But I want to look how we do the refactoring of the project for xcode, right now is not very reliable, we can leave it there how it is today, and just recommend that user don't change the project name in config.xml just the app name On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 3:52 PM, Carlos Santana <csantan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Let's see if I understood your feedback Jan: > > 1.
