# Feature Request
## Motivation Behind Feature
<!-- Why should this feature be implemented? What problem does it solve? -->
Currently, the generated Xcode project uses the application name for both
the project and the target name. This means that file paths in generated
projects are not consistent and we have to do regex-based token replacements
during project creation. It also makes modifying the template project a pain
because opening the template project directly in Xcode causes a bunch of those
tokens to break.
The deeper problem is that some tooling (notably Cocoapods) struggles with
project and target names with non-ASCII characters. By making the project name
consistent, we can hopefully avoid those problems.
This could potentially also solve long-standing issues around
`<config-file>` and `<edit-config>` for things like the Info.plist (currently
named `{{projectname}}-Info.plist`) and node-xcode corrupting other targets due
to not being able to restrict changes to just the app target.
## Feature Description
<!--
Describe your feature request in detail
Please provide any code examples or screenshots of what this feature would
look like
Are there any drawbacks? Will this break anything for existing users?
-->
The generated Xcode project would be named `App.xcodeproj` or
`CordovaApp.xcodeproj`.
The application target within that project would be named `App` or
`CordovaApp`.
**Prior Art:** Capacitor projects are named `App.xcodeproj` with a default
target named `App`.
## Alternatives or Workarounds
<!--
Describe alternatives or workarounds you are currently using
Are there ways to do this with existing functionality?
-->
The current method mostly works (as long as you don't have non-ASCII
characters in the project name), so there's a valid argument for keeping the
existing behaviour.
The workaround for now is to generate a project with an ASCII name and then
override the app's display name, which is pretty much what this change would
accomplish by default.
