Cordova + Ionic framework - How to safely change package name?

Question

i would like to change default name of the installation package from default com.ionicframework.starterto com.something.something, how can i do it safe

Answer 1

All I did was: a) Go to MainProjectFolder -> config.xml and find the line which says

b) Change the io.ionic.starter to com.myproject.mobile (reverse domain - that's what they call it, right)
c) Save the file.
d) Delete the platforms folder.
e) Open the command prompt and
- platform add android
- build android
-> build --release android
-> generate key using keytool
-> sign the apk using jarsigner
-> optimize the code using zipalign (for great documentation on these commands, refer: https://ionicframework.com/docs/v1/guide/publishing.html.
f) This process takes the package name from the config.xml file and build the apk from scratch thus eliminating the need for resetting any plugins as suggested. But I am new to this. May be there are other implications which experienced guys might point at. But this worked very well for me and I have deployed my first mobile app onto Google Playstore successfully.
Hope this helps.
