Hi folks. Is it possible to set a different packageName per platform? I've been trying various combinations but it leads to strange results. For example, setting nativeDistributions.packageName and nativeDistributions.macOS.packageName results in nativeDistributions.packageName being used. If I also set nativeDistributions.windows.packageName the outcome is that the package name for windows is used for all platforms e.g.:

compose.desktop {
    application {
        mainClass = "org.example.project.MainKt"

        nativeDistributions {
            targetFormats(TargetFormat.Dmg, TargetFormat.Msi, TargetFormat.Deb)
            packageName = "org.example.project"
            packageVersion = "1.0.0"

            macOS {
                packageName = "Foo"
            }

            windows {
                packageName = "Bar"
            }
        }
    }
}

no, you're changing the same packageName property across the whole nativeDistributions at configuration time, there isn't one for platform's settings

I guess a way could be to build the package name based on a parameter you pass in during a specific platform build

That's a good idea! I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something with the config. The way nativeDistributions is organised, one has the impression that each platform offers an "override" to the global values when used. Our use case is that the package name for Windows needs to be different than any other platform and so indeed, I will try to use a parameter. Thank you both!
