Research direction
Review the existing Uno Platform documentation for localization, particularly the section on app name and package manifest. Investigate how ms resource is used in WinUI and whether a cross platform equivalent exists. Look at the source code for handling app name in different target platforms, such as Android's strings.xml or iOS's InfoPlist.strings. Consider creating a guide that covers all platforms listed in the issue.
