package.json:
{
"name": "uberninjaftw",
"productName": "Uber Ninja",
"version": "2.3.4",
"main": "src/main.js",
etc...
note this also fails if I put it in forge config:
module.exports = {
outDir: '/Users/daniel/Documents/un_out',
packagerConfig: {
name: "Uber Ninja",
Also..... Im not sure if I should put this in a separate issue but it would be great to also support special characters in the app name. It should be Über Ninja not Uber Ninja
