Anyway to disable automatically resizing a specific app window on start?

[hemna]

Hello,
I'm developing an ios app on my mac with Aerospace as my window manager on my mac. the problem I have with Aerospace is that when I launch my app, it gets resized to a huge size to fit the rest of the desktop due to tiling. I would like to disable the tiling for this specific app/window only.

I have tried to force the layout to floating for that window only, but unfortunately it changes the layout for the entire desktop and the apps.

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'NULL-APP-BUNDLE-ID'
run = 'layout floating'

Is there a command I can place in that run to disable tiling for that specific app-id? I need to keep the same size of that window when I launch/quit/edit code/relaunch development cycle.

Thanks!

Just of the top of my head, you probably need to figure out the app id, maybe with aerospace list-apps

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'SET-APP-ID-HERE'
run = 'layout floating'

example:

[[on-window-detected]]
if.app-id = 'com.apple.finder'
run = 'layout floating'

The app id was correct in my post. It's an app I'm developing and the id isn't bundled yet into a formal package.

I got that app id from running aerospace list-apps.

But setting 'layout floating' will change the entire layout to floating. I just want that 1 window to be floating.

That should work, I just tested here on my end and it only floats the set apple id. Does the other apps have the same/similar id? Did you try using if.app-name-regex-substring or if.window-title-regex-substring?

The app id is null, because it's under development.
