What should I name a deployed application?

Question

I successfully installed Windows 10 IoT on my Raspberry Pi 2. I wrote the UAP test application "Hello World" (a simple text field and button using Visual Studio Community 2015 RC) and can run it on the Pi and debug it (sets breakpoints, etc.) .d.). When I create it for Release and deploy it to Pi, I see the following in the output of the Visual Studio assembly:

Full package name: "93b8b47e-8bbe-46d9-8a30-4cf697efc3d9_1.0.0.0_arm__3e1tqk2ntzwa4" 

When I run the following command in PowerShell connected to Pi:

 iostartup list 

I see a list of applications installed by the server, including:

 Headed : 93b8b47e-8bbe-46d9-8a30-4cf697efc3d9_3e1tqk2ntzwa4!App 

the tutorial I followed says that I should see something like:

 Headed : HelloWorld_n2pe7ts0w7wey!App 

I don’t see anything with the name “HellowWorld” in it, only this is a GUID and a looking name that matches the name shown in the output of the assembly. How to set the name of the deployed application to a friendlier name? This will make it easier to configure the application to run during boot Pi, etc. BTW, my VS solution and project are called HelloWorld.

Answer 1

Look in your Package.appxmanifest - there is a name. It is the default GUID due to the visual studio project templates and the selection of a specific default value that does not conflict when creating the project.
