Pod error on app with scandinavian chacters in the name

Bug Report

Problem

Using @havesource/cordova-plugin-push 2.0.0 in an app with a special character in the name (like æ ø å)results in a linker error. Pods install fine, but Xcode shows a build error: ld: framework not found Pods_Special_L_ringsportal (Project name is Special Læringsportal). All pods are in the correct places, and named correctly in the filesystem

What is expected to happen?

App would build, as it does without adding the @havesource plugin

What does actually happen?

Xcode shows a build error: ld: framework not found Pods_Special_L_ringsportal

Environment, Platform, Device

MacOS: Catalina 10.15.4
Xcode: 12.4
Cordova-ios: 6.2.0 (tried 6.1.0 and 6.0.0 withg same result)

Checklist

• I searched for existing GitHub issues
• I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version
• I included all the necessary information above

Probably same as: havesource/cordova-plugin-push#95

We are also experiencing this.

@TripShade , we worked around this issue the following way:

• Set the name itself to an alias without special characters (e.g. part of the package name). This wont be visible in the end.

• Set the short name to the prefered app name containing special characters
  Example: <name short="{{= name}}">{{= alias}}</name>

• Set the Android App label explicitly in the Manifest

<edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
[...]
    <application android:label="{{= name}}" />
</edit-config>

• Call cordova-plugin-app-name

npx cordova cordova-plugin-app-name --variable APP_NAME="$NAME" --save

Edit: Added step, I forgot previously
