Application- or Component-Level Configuration (FA Model)

When developing an application, you may need to configure certain tags to identify the application, such as the bundle name and application icon. This topic describes key tags that need to be configured during application development.

Configuring the bundle name

The bundle name is specified by the bundleName field under app in the config.json file. This field uniquely identifies an application. The bundle name can contain only letters, digits, underscores (_), and periods (.). It must start with a letter. The bundle name is a string with 7 to 127 bytes of a reverse domain name, for example, com.example.myapplication. It is recommended that the first part is the top-level domain “com”, and the second part is the vendor or individual name, which can be of multiple levels. For details about the configuration, see app.

Configuring the application icon and label

The FA model does not support direct configuration of application icons and labels. Instead, the icon and label of a PageAbility component that meet the rules are used as the application icon and label. For details about the rules, see PageAbility Component. The icon is specified by the icon field under abilities in the config.json file. The icon must be configured in the resource file on DevEco Studio, and the path of the icon must be /resource/base/media. An example value is $media:ability_icon. The label is the index of the resource file. It identifies the name of the ability presented to users. The label value can be an ability name or a resource index to the ability name in multiple languages. In the skills attribute of the ability, if the actions value contains action.system.home and the entities value contains entity.system.home, the icon and label of the ability is used as the application icon and label. If multiple abilities address this condition, the icon and label of the first candidate ability is used as the application icon and label. For details about the configuration, see abilities.

    "abilities": [
      "icon": "$media:icon",
      "label": "$string:MainAbility_label",
      "skills": [  
        {
          "entities": ["entity.system.home"],
          "actions": ["action.system.home"]
        }
      ]
      ...
    }

Configuring application version declaration

To declare the application version, set the version field under app in the config.json file to specify the version number, version name, and earliest compatible version number. For details about the configuration, see version.

Configuring device types supported by the module

To configure the device types supported by the module, set the deviceType field in the config.json file. If a certain device type is added to deviceTypes, the module can run on that device. For details about the configuration, see deviceType.

Configuring the component permission

To request component permissions, set the reqPermission field under module in the config.json file. This field declares the name of the permission to request, the reason for requesting the permission, and the scenario where the permission is used. For details about the configuration, see reqPermission.
