MacOS: changing the name of PHP Desktop.app

[belbernard]

I tried to change the name to, for instance, "BP3.app". It did not start, so I also changed the name of "MacOS/PHP Desktop" to "MacOS/BP3". But running

sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ./BP3.app

produced these errors:

xattr: No such file: ./BP3.app/Contents/MacOS/webcache/RunningChromeVersion
xattr: No such file: ./BP3.app/Contents/MacOS/webcache/SingletonCookie
xattr: No such file: ./BP3.app/Contents/MacOS/webcache/SingletonLock
xattr: [Errno 102] Operation not supported on socket: './BP3.app/Contents/MacOS/webcache/SingletonSocket'

These files are (broken) symbolic links.

Changing the name will be necessary to share a version of PHP Desktop with a specific content. Indeed, an alias or a symbolic link could do the work but we can't ask users to create it, except if we create (and notarize) a "pkg" installer.

You have to delete the "webcache" directory. It's Chromium cache, it's safe to delete. This will resolve your errors.

When distributing app to users you shouldn't include "webcache" directory nor the debug.log file. Delete them before distributing.

You will also need to rename strings in Resources/Info.plist file - such as "PHP Desktop" or "phpdesktop".
