Production build starts under a separate launcher in GNOME #2598

Once app installed custom icon launcher appears in a menu as expected. But every application instance creates a new launcher with some kind of a default icon.

Is there any way to make app appear under its own launcher?

For anyone has faced the same issue you need to provide StatupWMClass property for desktop file configuration like that: 

// package.json
  "build: {
    ...
    "linux": {
      "desktop": {
        "StartupWMClass": "MyApp"
      }
    }

MyApp should match you productName I guess.
