The package name of your APK or Android App Bundle must be "***"

Hi there,
I have trouble that I can not release revised version of my application to Google Play Console.
Error message is
The package name of your APK or Android App Bundle must be "appinventor.ai_admpapa3.TraPon".
Then
I tried to upload .aab file named same as error message. But rejected and Google send same message.
Does it mean that I must change source of my application.
If it does, for me only can develop application with App Inventor, there is
nothing to do?

The name of the compiled app (AAB or APK doesn't matter. The project name must be "TraPon" (TraPon.aia) and the email must be the same as in your origninal (first) Play Store release. Then - and only then - the packageName is identical.

Hi Anke,
Thanks for much help already.
I get know you say that I must upload improved application without change project name nor my mail address.
In fact I tried same way as you mention but rejected.
On this issue, I tried to re-release my app without change file name and project name from same Google Play Console ID.
But Google Play Console rejected release as mentioned error message I show here before.

On this matter I asked Google, the answer is the followings.

Thank you for contacting Google Play Developer Support.

The package name of the file uploaded for the new release must match the package name of the existing app. Please refer to this help article and try clearing your web browser's cache and cookies.

If the problem persists, we recommend using incognito mode in Google Chrome or "private browsing" mode in other web browsers.

If the error persists, there may be a problem with the file. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we recommend .

As Google points I cleared cache and cookies but get same error messages.

As already stated by @Anke, are you 101% sure that your project name is TraPon.aia and that you are using admpapa3@xxxx.xx as you login account on MIT

e.g.

If there is still problem then share your aab file

  • Then don't change anything,
  • build the APK (instead of the AAB) with the same project,
  • upload the APK to Google Drive and
  • post the public link.

... and from the same AI2 account?

Il pacchetto dell'APK o dell'Android App Bundle deve avere il nome appinventor.ai_Angeloorabona.Cairo. Ho modificato il file aia con Angeloorabona ma quando salvo me lo salva con angeloorabona.aab quindi che fare?

Cairo should be the name of the project, while Angeloorabona should be email address used to login to app inventor ( the part before @ )

Il pacchetto dell'APK o dell'Android App Bundle deve avere il nome appinventor.ai_Angeloorabona.Cairo. Ho modificato il file aia con Angeloorabona ma quando salvo me lo salva sia il progetto aia che il file .aab me lo salva con la a piccola angeloorabona quindi che fare? quindi quando vado ad aggiornare l’app il nome non viene riconosciuto.

Su app inventor appare progetto Cairo email angeloorabona@gmail.com

Su app inventor entro con Angeloorabona@gmail.com

It seems working for me:

  • created a new account Davidefefe@xxxxxx.yy
  • created a project testpro
  • built apk
  • the package name is set ( as it should ) to: appinventor.ai_Davidefefe.testpro

Checked the apk package name with “apk editor studio”

Anche l’apk aperto con apk editor studio nel manifest il nome è appinventor.ai_angeloorabona.Cairo e non appinventor.ai_Angeloorabona.Cairo **(**la differenza è sola la A che dovrebbe essere maiscola ma è minuscola).

So seems your google account ( the one you use to login to app inventor ) email changed from Angeloorabona@xxxxx.yy to angeloorabona@xxxxx.yy ( or are you using a different google account )?

In both cases you should revert the changes, the email address associated to your google account should be Angeloorabona@xxxxx.yy

P.S.

In any case you should also have/save a copy of your original keystore

P.P.S.
Sorry not sure the above statement "In both cases you should revert the changes..." is correct.
I mean the issue in the package name is "the capital A" of the email

Si deve avere la A non a

Angeloorabona e non angeloorabona.

Post a screenshot of this message from your Google Play console.

SiSi dev'essere Angeloorabona.Cairo e non angeloorabona.Cairo

Ingresso in app inventor Angeloorabona@gmail.com . L’AAb del Cairo esce con angeloorabona@gmail.com

It is strange that Google lists the Gmail address (name) here with a capital letter. Uppercase and lowercase letters are all treated as lowercase.

So the package name should be:
appinventor_ai.angeloorabona.Cairo

Che posso fare?
