I am aware of the name attribute in the config.xml.
We are setting the productname in the xcode build file because we have run
into issues where setting a name with spaces or special characters, doesn't
play nicely with xcode project names.
In our use case, we set the cordova project name to a very simple name -
one with no spaces or special characters. We can then change the app's display
name for ios or android (sometimes slightly different between the platforms due
to name wrapping on Android) to almost anything we want, without having to
worry about xcode or gradle project incompatibilities.
I like the idea that you suggested about using the xcode node module to
parse the project name. The no wrap option is not ideal, but it was the
simplest and easiest to implement, as our custom build environment already
signs our applications for us.
> [CB-8485] Not allowed to have XCodeProject display name different from
> Cordova project name
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-9500
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9500
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS
> Affects Versions: 5.2.0
> Environment: Mac OS X
> Reporter: Nicholas Farley
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: compile, compile-error, compilerconfiguration,
> conversion, error, ios, name, xcode
> Fix For: 5.2.0
>
> Original Estimate: 2h
> Remaining Estimate: 2h
>
> The recent changes to the compile command (CB-8485) have introduced an issue
> on iOS. Specifically, the inline creation of the signed archive, have made it
> impossible to have an iOS applications display name be different from the
> Cordova project name.
> The archive generation process expects the .app name to have the same
> basename as the name listed in the XCodeProject. If it does not find the .app
> at this position, it fails the conversion and the entire compile process.
> The .app it creates is based upon the Cordova project name. The name in the
> XCodeProject is the name used for applications name when it is on a device,
> so now this name must match the project name or the signed archive won't be
> created.
> This can be fixed in a number of ways.
> - Include a "no-sign" option, which would mimic the old behavior.
> - Include a way to pass the desired name to compile.
> - Have the .app name be pulled from some other configuration that isn't tied
> to a the iOS display name.
