feat: Update appId if appId is changed in capacitor.config.json

Feature Request

Describe the Feature Request

When a init or add command is executed (to add a android or ios platform)the appId is read from the capacitor.config.json and used to setup the native platforms. If for some reason the appId needs to be diferent there’s a need to update it manualy in a lot of native files. The same seems to be happening to the “appName”.

Platform Support Requested

• Android
• iOS
• Electron
• Web

Describe Preferred Solution

npx cap copy or other command to update native platforms from the capacitor.config.json.

I’d like to generate several app from the same base code. This feature would be very helpful !

This is not going to be implemented in Capacitor as Capacitor’s policy is to never edit the user’s native project after creation.

Users interested in changing the bundle identifier, package name and some other properties programmatically or with yaml files can take a look at capacitor-configure project https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor-configure
