Am I fundamentally misunderstanding the identifier Tauri configuration?

[Almost-Senseless-Coder]

As per this discussion, Tauri follows the reverse domain notation for app identifiers, as per the identifier setting in tauri.conf.json.

So an app named jack-point by almost-senseless.tech would lead to an identifier like so: tech.almost-senseless.jack-point.

That used to work splendidly. Since (at least) beta 14 of the tauri-cli, though, That leads to this error message when running cargo tauri android init:

thread 'main' panicked at C:\Users\timjb\.cargo\registry\src\index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f\tauri-cli-2.0.0-beta.15\src\mobile\mod.rs:322:6:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: DomainInvalid { domain: "almost-senseless", cause: NotAsciiAlphanumeric { bad_chars: ['-'] } }

Setting identifier to tech.almost-senseless works, but when we open the generated project in Android Studio, its package name is tech.jack_point. Renaming the identifier to tech.almostsenseless.jackpoint also works and results in the Android namespace tech.almostsenseless.jack_point. What I want to see is tech.almost_senseless.jack_point for the Android package names, and tech.almost-senseless.jack-point otherwise.

Is this a bug or am i fundamentally misunderstanding the identifier setting?

You're not fundamentally misunderstanding it. As far as i know the issue here is just that the team has not decided how to handle platform differences yet. Namingly the main issue is that android only supports _ but not - while ios supports - but not _.

Anyway, i don't think the people that have to see this will see this here so please instead open a normal issue about this and clearly communicate the solution you want so that the issue doesn't get closed as a os difference problem.
