Hi,

I developed an App that must be customized to my clients, changing some parameters as initial logo, colors, etc. I created some variables inside the project that allow me easily customize the App. After customization, I would like to deliver it to Google Play , one to each client. That is, the same project is shared by all my clients and, when I deliver the customized versions to Google Play, I would like to tell Google Play that they are different apps. The problem is: app store and Android consider all customized versions the same App, ant try to supersede them. What is the solution to this? Must I duplicate the project, creating a project to each client or is it possible to change parameters in my application in order to tell Android or Google Play that the customized versions are different apps ?

Thank you, Pasteur Jr.

You could change the app id -- but then it would be a different app in Google Play. I think the best way is to publish different apps.

Hi Max, thank you for your quick answer. Is the app id the project name? Or is the package name? What is the correct field I must change? The problem in publishing different apps is that I must create a different project to each client.

Thank you, Pasteur Jr.

I believe it's the package name

Hi Max,

If I change the package name, the export to apk fails. Any other suggestion?  

Thank You

Hello! Sorry, there is a bug (we'll fix it in January release). As a workaround on Source tab--ANDROID folder delete your project and undo all source changes.

Hi Maryna,

Sorry, I didn't understand. I must delete the project and undo source changes in order to have a different app? 

Thank you

Hello! See the screenshots
1) Delete your project from ANDROID folder on Source tab

2) Undo all source changes on ANDROID folder

Thanks Marina,

Will this procedure solve the problem I reported above? 

Thank you
