The trick is to call QGuiApplication::setDesktopFileName() with the name of the
desktop file that represents the application:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qguiapplication.html#desktopFileName-prop

So, for Pure Maps, I believe you would pass "io.github.rinigus.PureMaps.desktop"
to this method. QtWayland then strips the ".desktop" from the end and uses the
rest as the application ID.
