I am trying to retrieve the source code using mdapi/source commands from a pkgOrg which has 1Gen Managed package. But, namespace is appending in the salesforce components.
I have known that namespace will be appended while package is getting created.
Anyone know how can we retrieve the source code without namespace from PkgOrg.
Or is there any tool that can find the hardcoded namespace in the retrieved folder and remove everything?
The Metadata API does not alter the presence or absence of the namespace during retrieval of metadata. It gives you what is present in the org.
It's fairly common for 1GP package source to contain references to its own namespace, particularly if the package has either been developed directly in the packaging org or in namespaced scratch orgs.
CumulusCI's retrieve_packaged task (disclaimer: I am on the CumulusCI team) can retrieve the packaged source and remove all references to the namespace via the --namespace-strip option. However, it's not really doing anything different than what you'd do with any tool by running the retrieval, doing a global search and replace for the MyNS__ string, and renaming any files starting with MyNS__.
