I have been trying to change the branding of Chromium in MacOS. I have tried editing theses file:

  • src/chrome/app/theme/chromium/BRANDING
  • chrome/app/general_resources.grd
  • chrome/app/settings_strings.grdp
  • chrome/app/chromium_strings.grd
  • chtome/common/chrome_paths_mac.mm
  • chtome/common/chrome_constants.cc

After trying all the permutations and combinations of making changes in the above files, whenever I try building from source, the directories that are created are all named @PRODUCT_FULLNAME@ (eg: @PRODUCT_FULLNAME@ Framework.framework, @PRODUCT_FULLNAME@ Helper, etc.).

I tried launching the file out/MyBuild/@PRODUCT_FULLNAME@.app/Contents/MacOS/@PRODUCT_FULLNAME@, but it crashed and threw an error. After some research, I came to know that the full name is set in the file build/util/branding.gni. I tried changing the full name from that file directly and it worked, the directories were titled with the name given by me instead of @PRODUCT_FULLNAME@. Yet, when I tried launching the browser, it crashed again.

Please tell me what I am doing wrong here, I tried referring to the below questions:
