I use appendix package to generate appendices. It generates the desired heading in the text, but generates the entries of appendices in the TOC exactly the same way it generates entries for chapters. However, I want that to be different. In particular, I want the appendix entry to be
(instead of setting \cftchappresnum to \chaptername, I want to set it to all caps 'appendix'). However, it does not seem that I am able to do it for appendices that use the syntax
\begin{appendices}
\chapter{}
\end{appendices}
With the syntax above, I simply get arabic numbering with the word 'Chapter' being used instead of Appendix.
Thus, I use \chapter* to avoid printing the a chapter entry in the TOC altogether but then add a custom code to generate the output I want as follows
\AtBeginEnvironment{appendices}{\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{appendix}.\arabic{section}.}}
\newcommand{\appendixtitle}{}
\newcommand{\appendixtitleFull}{\chaptername\space\Alph{appendix}.\space\uppercase{\appendixtitle}}
\newlength{\widthAppendixName}
\setlength{\widthAppendixName}{\widthof{\chaptername \Alph{appendix}.~~} - \cftsecindent}
\makeatletter
\AtBeginEnvironment{appendices}{
\preto{\chapter}{
\addtocounter{appendix}{1}
\setcounter{section}{0}
\setcounter{figure}{0}
\setcounter{equation}{0}
\addtocounter{appendix}{1}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect
\contentsline{chapter}{\numberline{\chaptername~\Alph{appendix}.}%
\cftchapaftersnumb\hspace{\widthAppendixName}\uppercase{\appendixtitle}%
}{\thepage}{\@currentHref}
}
}
}
\makeatother
However, with the code above, I get the wrong page number and the wrong hyperlink destination. Is there a way to get the output I want while using the normal mechanism of generating appendices (i.e., with appendices environment and \chapter command)?
The answer in Wrong page number for appendix in table of contents
is not suitable here because I am using appendices package instead of the general \appendix command. The answer in Table of contents and appendices does not show how to make the appendices entries different from chapters while maintaining correct page documentation in the TOC.

The best way to accomplish that automatically is to modify the star form of\chapterto add the\contentslinewith proper timing as done for the unstarred form. Some possibly useful information appears with the question Creating unnumbered chapters/sections (plus adding them to the ToC and/or header) – barbara beeton Jul 03 '19 at 20:28amsbookdoes add the titles of starred elements to the TOC automatically, so you could look at how that is done. The definitions aren't identical to those ofbook, so can't just be copied, but the idea for the method should be clear, and thus adaptable. – barbara beeton Jul 03 '19 at 20:34
