Error publishing app to the Google Play.

Question

I have a problem while uploading .apk file. When I try to upload .apk file, I always get the same error:

enter image description here

Its says that I need to name the app file, something like this: com.example.myapp.

The .apk names that I tried (examples): com.rvislt.prosld.apk, com.rvislt.prosld2014.apk and I always got the above error.

I tried to use the different browsers, shutdown all background application and I always got the same error.

It makes me crazy!

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

What is the error saying in English? – tinfoilboy Mar 01 '14 at 09:28 — tinfoilboy, Mar 01 '14 at 09:28

You are simply renaming the APK file name, try to change your package name of your application.

Like this

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.rvislt.prosld"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1" >

Renaming the APK file to com.rvislt.prosld.apk does not make any sense and it wont work for you.

Thanks for advice. I think that was the problem. I will try to upload the .apk tomorrow, because now I have reached my daily upload limit. :( – ROMAN Mar 01 '14 at 09:32

Try to change Package Name into your manifest.xml file with com.rvislt.prosld and built again and for the naming conversation go to http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/package/namingpkgs.html

Its not necessary that it always start with .com.

Generally we android developer having practice to decide package name based on the domain name of a particular company.

For example:

 1. Domain name: sun.com => Root package name something like : com.sun
 2. Domain name: technotalkative.com => Root package name something like: com.technotalkative.android
 3. Domain name: sun.org => Root package name something like: org.sun.androidapp

And for more information, What should be the package name of android app?

Thanks for advice. I think that was the problem :) – ROMAN Mar 01 '14 at 09:34 — ROMAN, Mar 01 '14 at 09:34

After having refactored your project to use new package name try to use a find-replace in your project and replace com.youroldpackage.app with com.yournewpackage.app with eclipse.

There are several places where your app page name is used: Manifest etc. java packages etc. make sure that everywhere is used your new package now.

BTW: a good practice for package naming is to use a domain that you own in it, that way you can be almost sure that nobody else uses the same package name, which is a problem, because you cannot upload apps with a package name that is already in use. so for example if you have the domain "mynewpackage.com" then your app packagename should be something like com.mynewpackage.mynewapp
