How do I change my app package name.

One of the app markets I submitted my app to, denied my app for the following reason, I assume this means I have to change the package name. I tried doing this in my manifest.xml, but got compilation errors.

PACKAGE NAME: Per the Android Open Source Project and the SlideME developer agreement, your application should have an appropriate and unique package name (not to be confused with the uploaded .apk file name), as set in the Application Manifest (.xml). Package names that are too short, not unique, unchanged from tutorial examples, generic, use unauthorized trademarks, or are suspicious will result in the application being denied. Package names must follow the standard Android and Java practices for packageName nomenclature, i.e. companydomain.apptitle or companyname.apptitle or developer/authorname.apptitle. This helps to avoid conflicts as multiple apps cannot share the same packageName, it indicates ownership of the application to your account, and it indicates that this application was not built using tutorials/example source code.

Try without 18 in "18apps" or "apps18"

Dear Max,

Thanks a lot !
info.apps18.stoke4hk works !

Why 18 apps is not allowed ? Java Naming convention not allow starting with digits ?

How do I change my app package name.

Max,

I made the changes in package name, Version code/name, uncheck Signing key/certificate in Android binary settings and then now unable to build the apk.

It said,
"Oh no!

It wasn't supposed to happen but the build failed.

Please try again.
You can also email us a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a and tell us about this problem
"

Any help ?

Walter

How do I change my app package name.

I also change the Android permissions.
Am I supposed to change the package name and other settings early in the project, not after all the pages done, then change it last ?
