Forgot to mention - The fix we talked about was the ability to set "project name" independent of the display name (really for any platform). iOS actually suffers from some of these same issues but unlike Java can handle Unicode characters in filenames.

Perhaps this may be the time to merge it in. -Chuck -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Lantz [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 6:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Thoughts on CB-7827 To be clear, CB-6511 fixes app names that are non-English which is clearly not an edge case. For example, previous to this change it was impossible to build an app for Android with a Chinese display name. You'll note Cordova documentation is available in Chinese. -Chuck -----Original Message----- From: Tommy Williams [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2015 6:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Thoughts on CB-7827 Please someone fix this somehow :( Is CB-6511 really important enough to cause this? It feels like an edge case caused an issue for the majority. - tommy On 14 Feb 2015 12:32 am, "Connor Pearson" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm wondering what the status of CB-7827 is.
