Electron-builder: Change macOS "Standard Menu Item Actions" app name

[fttx]

• Electron version: 1.7.10
• Electron builder: 19.52.1
• Target: macOS

Given package.json

{
    "name": "barcode-to-pc-server",
    ...
    "build": {
        "productName": "Barcode to PC server",
        ...
    }
    ...
}

Expected behavior

I expected to see the package.json>build>productName in the application menu>About/Hide/Quit
Is there another property for that?

Actual behavior

I see the package.json>name in the application menu

docs: https://electronjs.org/docs/api/menu#standard-menu-item-actions

In your main.js (Main Electron file) towards the top have
app.setName("Your New Name");

https://electronjs.org/docs/api/app#appsetnamename

If that doesn't work I set productName at the top of my package.json also. Outside of build

app.setName("Your New Name"); worked, thanks

Apologies for bumping a slightly unrelated issue, but is there a way to completely remove the "About ..." menu item? I looked through the configuration documentation but didn't see anything that stood out.

•1 You can set a new Menu by following this example found in the doc here. You can custom this Menu by adding/removing what you need.

•2 Below the condition specific for Mac OS X which is if (process.platform === 'darwin') you can remove the object {role: 'about'} and you won't see the About xxx label anymore.
