How to rename published ASP.NET core binary file

I need to rename published binary files in an ASP.NET Core application. For example, the files in the published folder are:

WebApplication1.exe

WebApplication1.dll

WebApplication1.deps.json

WebApplication1.pdb

WebApplication1.runtimeconfig.json

etc.

I need to rename WebApplication1 to WebApplication2 after the files are published. If I just manually rename the files to WebApplication2.exe, etc., I get an error like:

The managed DLL bound to this executable: 'WebApplication1.dll', did not match own name 'WebApplication2.dll'.

I also tried to rename WebApplication1 to WebApplication2 inside of WebApplication1.deps.json with no luck.
