Allow specifying device name and metadata in the tools app #136

Tools app should let you pass device names to each device so that we can more easily identify them with presence viewer or other mesh observability tools. Right now, Ditto defaults to device model.

See below image with all devices of the same type in the presence viewer:

Whoever picks this up - check if we need the same in Swift and create a matching issue if so

zmarkan commented 1 day ago

Yes - swift tools app just names them like iPad and iPhone - not even taking the device name from iOS into account.

Please note that if you change the deviceName, you need to restart the Ditto sync to update the name:

Changes to this property after startSync() was called will only take effect after the next restart of sync. https://software.ditto.live/android/Ditto/4.8.0/api-reference/ditto/live.ditto/-ditto-base/device-name.html

In Richard's implementation on iOS there's already logic for this as you configure various sync mechanisms - I think we can use that screen for general config of the tools app
