Is it possible to change the name of an existing app?
See original GitHub issueHey @develar, thanks for your work on this repo! Couldn’t find any existing issues about this, sorry to bother you with these questions.
I want to change the name of my app (as it appears to users); will changing productName in package.json be sufficient to change this?
Additionally, might I face any issues with Auto Update for existing users of my app (on Windows and macOS) if I do so?

@guanxun14 Yes. But please note that it is opensource project and I cannot guarantee that everything will work as expected. Just try.
Yes, you can change
productNameand it will not affect auto-update. I am not sure 100% if you use Squirrel.Windows instead of NSIS, but should be ok.
