Trouble with application id and custom nativescript.config.ts

[fpaaske]

I have this project.json setup where the nativescript.config-aaa.ts contains a different appResourcesPath than the default (nativescript.config.ts). This seems to work fine.

However, I'm also building for different environments, and have to set the application id based on that, so I add "id" to the config.

        "app-test": {
          "flags": "--config=nativescript.config-aaa.ts",
          "id": "com.app.aaa.test"
...
        "app-dev": {
          "flags": "--config=nativescript.config-aaa.ts",
          "id": "com.app.aaa.dev"

The problem is that the id replacements happens in the default nativescript.config.ts, while the rest of the build process is using the specified nativescript.config-aaa.ts.

Any tips on how I can handle this situation properly?

@NathanWalker do you have any tips or tricks to solve this? I think it might be very closely related to this issue; NativeScript/nativescript-cli#3538

I'd like to expand on this, after upgrading to latest version of this plugin.
The new recommended way to configure and run this is something like this:

"debug": {
  "executor": "@nativescript/nx:debug",
  "options": {
    ...
  },
  "configurations": {
    "prod" {
      ..setup for prod..
    },
    "test": {
      ..setup for test..
    }
  }

Then run with nx debug <app> -c=test ios

In my case I need to set the application id differently for prod and test, but only for ios. To avoid duplicating a lot of config, I would like to add this as a platform specfic parameter:

"debug": {
  "executor": "@nativescript/nx:debug",
  "options": {
    ...
  },
  "configurations": {
    "prod" {
      ..setup for prod..
    },
    "test": {
      ..setup for test..
      "ios": {
        "id": "com.company.app.test"
      }
    }
  }

Is there a way to do this?
