Package name change
I have adapted an existing project to make a new one and built it with a new name. I did this as we are still unable to duplicate/ copy projects or activities accross and I wanted a similar version of my app.
When uploading to google play it is telling me I have duplicate package names so it will not allow an upload.
I have seen from a previous post that it is not possible to change package names within andromo but is there a workaround out there somewhere?

If your app has a different package name, you need to upload it as a separate app.
Thanks for the swift response. I think i must not have explained clearly.
I have edited and deleted some activities within an existing Andromo project, renamed it, and downloaded it.
I have then tried to upload to google play as a completely new App with a new listing.
It has the same package name as my existing App that is up there on G.P so it is saying I cant upoload 2 seperate apps with the same package name.
I therefore need to get into the manifest file (i think) change the package name and then it should allow me to upload this APK as a new App.
1: Is there a way to do this?
2: Will it screw up my App?
There are currently two ways to generate a new package name in Andromo:
It is not possible to edit the manifest of an app once it is built.
We do plan to add features in the future to make it easier to build multiple similar projects.
- Simply change the project package name under the settings tab. If the existing app uses the com. package, then select the alternate. package for the new app. Make sure the two apps look different though otherwise Google Play might charge you of spam policy violation (duplicate apps not allowed). You can make them Ad and Ad-free versions for instance.
- If you're a pro user, then change the package name to your liking and submit it as a new app.
@ghazaly i am an adnromo user like you and the duplicate feature will definitely helps tremendously but perhaps it will do more harm than good (just my own thinking though). Many users will spam Google Play by duplicating apps and submitting them overnight. Play store seems to be already crowded. It is not easy to get downloads as before and even earnings are decreasing due to the fierce competition among other reasons (but if you build good apps that will cover a certain niche, i can say the market is still untapped). So duplicate feature SHOULD NOT BE PROVIDED and we should be wise enough to understand why. If you really need to duplicate your app with no hassles, then simply signup for the professional plan and change the package name or take your time to create an entirely similar project from the scratch.
Good luck to us all.
How do I make a Java package name? I want to go for a pro plan. Do I just copy the sample of the default name and just change it to the name that I wanted? example: default name is : com.newandromo.dev.123.app123 my proposed package name: com.abc.defg.543.app001
Is this how to do it? Thanks for your help.
@user_#20427 yes, you can set a custom package name for your app on 'Professional Features' tab of 'Settings' block.
