By default Electron uses ``{appname}.desktop`` as desktop file name. In Flatpak the name of the desktop file must be the id of the Flatpak.
To tell Electron to use another name you need to set the ``desktopName`` key in your ``package.json`` e.g. ``"desktopName": "com.example.MyApp.desktop"``.

In case you repack a binary, you can use the ``patch-desktop-filename`` script provided by the BaseApp. Each Electron binary ships with ``resources/app.asar`` file.
In case you repack a binary, you can use the `patch-electron-desktop-filename <https://codeberg.org/JakobDev/patch-electron-desktop-filename>`_ tool included in the BaseApp.
Each Electron binary ships with ``resources/app.asar`` file.
You need to call ``patch-desktop-filename`` with this file as argument.
If your application is installed under ``${FLATPAK_DEST}/my-app`` you need to run ``patch-desktop-filename ${FLATPAK_DEST}/my-app/resources/app.asar``.
