Mac Bundle Id is always prefixed with com.electron #8146

I can make something reproducible but first I want to check if the behavior is expected.

Every time I run electron-builder --mac --config --universal I am seeing bundleIds being set as com.electron.mycompany. In other words, com.electron is always prefixed. However, in my electron-builder.yml the very first line i have is appId: com.mycompany.desktop.

I'm wondering if this is expected behavior because in the docs it says:

appId = com.electron.${name} String | “undefined” - The application id. Used as [CFBundleIdentifier](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001431-102070) for MacOS and as [Application User Model ID](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd378459(v=vs.85).aspx) for Windows (NSIS target only, Squirrel.Windows not supported). It is strongly recommended that an explicit ID is set.

So to me that looks like the bundle id will always begin with com.electron. If this is the case I guess that's okay, but it's a bit limiting, especially if we are adding our desktop app as just an extra platform to an existing app (which has a mobile app)

Apologies. There must have been something else in my build process causing this. Closing!
