As of right now, the app name for the to-be-generated ionic.config.json is derived from the local package.json. This results in the following appName:

// ionic.config.json
{
  "name": "my-app",
}

But the official Ionic configuration recommends:

// ionic.config.json
{
  // The human-readable name of the app.
  "name": "My App"
}

I believe a better approach is to use any of the existing Capacitor configs, as it includes the to be published app name:

• capacitor.config.json
• capacitor.config.ts
• etc.

Since a valid name for a package.json isn't allowed to include uppercase letters, the Capacitor config holds the more appropriate app name.
