Description

I wonder if this Nx plugin could satisfy the requirement to create multiple variants of a {N} application where core parts (non-UI) are shared and the concrete variants have custom (Angular) application tier logic and UI.

The variants would need their own metadata (final app name, signing, bundle identifiers, package names, etc.) so they would come with their own build & packaging time configuration (Info.plist, AndroidManifest.xml, code signing etc.)

Would that work?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the Nx plugin's support for NativeScript and Angular application variants, then determine whether shared non-UI code and per-variant metadata, signing, and packaging configuration are supported. Done means a clear answer about whether this architecture works and what configuration it requires.
