Automate changing app "id"

[pedromorgan]

Changing the "app id" means changing in three places (Took me a while to figure out as a newbie as app was not installing/running):

• package.json - "nativescript": { "id": "com.example.newapp" ...
• app/App_Resources/Android/app.gradle - ... applicationId = "com.example.newapp" ...
• app/App_Resources/Android/settings.json - {"appId":"com.example.newapp"...

Could the change in "package.json" become part of the build ?
ie overriding/replacing the "ids" in app.gradle and settings.json ?

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

Android
