How to change the ios bundle id in vscode for maui

Question

In Visual Studio, Xamarin Forms apps the Bundle Id is changed by opening the info.plist file and selecting the Application dropdown. The Bundle Id is on that page to change.

I need to know how to do the same thing in vscode using the vscode maui extension.

[EDIT] Due to Jiale's comment: I need to know where the bundle id is kept for a MAUI project for iOS and Android. I don't care if there is a UI for it like Visual Studio. I just need to know where all to change it whether in code, files or some other place.

I was able to figure this out by finally finding the right documentation:

For iOS (use the command line and project file changes as needed):

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/ios/deployment/publish-cli?view=net-maui-8.0

For Android (use the command line):

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/android/deployment/publish-cli?view=net-maui-8.0

This is important to my company because we use the exact same solution and project for 5 different apps. We change the imaged, Bundle ID, app name and a few other things when we build each one.

Using Visual Studio for Mac it wasn't too bad because I would just go in to the info.plist and change things there.

By using the command line it is actually a little bit easier because I just created shell scripts for each branded app with the correct dotnet publish parameters.

This works really well.
