Hi,
Currently, when invoking appModule.productName for a Windows Store app, NVDA says "Windows operating system". Although this is fine for built-in apps such as Bing Weather and Windows Store, this may confuse users and developers when they are testing accessibility of Store apps (both existing ones and apps to be created in the future). As a way of providing actual product name for debugging purposes and for people to tell us which app they are having issues with, I propose using app title for productName.
Before:

  1. Go to Windows Store app such as Weather.
  2. Once the app opens, press NVDA+F1 to show developer info. Look under appModule.productName.
    After:
  3. Open any Windows Store app.
  4. Press NVDA+F1 to open developer info. appModule.productName tells you the title of the app.
    Implementation:
  5. In appModules.wwahost.py, override _get_productName to return the title (api.getForegroundObject().name).
  6. wwahost.AppModule.productName will contain the actual title of the app.
    Thanks.
