Cordova + Ionic framework - How to safely change package name?

Question

i would like to change default name of the installation package from default com.ionicframework.starterto com.something.something, how can i do it safe

Answer 1

Changing the package name in config.xml is the first step, there are other steps that need to be done to address the op's question about 'safely' changing the package name.

@ananth has given the practical answer. However it can be further simplified as I have tested and verified on Ionic 3.

1. Change package name in config.xml
2. Delete a platform, ionic cordova platform rm
3. Add the platform back, ionic cordova platform add
4. If the platform was Android, regenerate the signing key. This page (https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/how-to-automatically-sign-android-applications-with-the-ionic-cli/87449) gives the simplest and safest process.
