I am trying to get my app ready for alpha testing and am struggling to rename my project packages - as it would appear that com.android is a restricted package name - however when following the instructions outlined here I get the following message:
- I'm...not sure what to do here as this window differs from what is given in the instructions. Has anyone encountered this and is able to help me?

I found the trick/method for changing project package name after wasting $12 on the fiverr. This method works for me in Android Studio 4.0.
You just need to change this line only in build.gradle(app level).
applicationId "codetrix.cleaner"
Just change the text in " " quotes. Your new package will be your updated text.

If you want to change your package name, please follow below steps:
Change your package name in AndroidManifest.xml: package="your_new_package_name"
Rebuild project, you have to fix many import of R file.
Change the package name of java by Right click -> Refactor -> Rename on the package. This is an optional step, #1 and #2 should change your package name already.

Unfortunately, that didn't help as I still seem to be getting compilation errors (unrelated to this) - I think I'll just go the nuclear option and make an entirely new project and copy everything over line by line - save myself the headache. I appreciate the help though. – secondubly Mar 23 '18 at 03:46

@TariqMahmood unfortunately I did not! I ended up just remaking the project entirely and recopying everything - it's a bit extreme but it did fix it. – secondubly Jun 14 '20 at 16:44
