Android Question Compiling for release - result.apk

When compiling my first B4A package named uk.co.vertexplus.checkmate2.model120 in release mode the file produced and saved in the 'object' folder is named 'result.apk' although I cannot see any gaps in the given name which might have caused this. Methinks perhaps the package name is too long? Is it correct practice to simply rename the result.apk file to uk.co.vertexplus.checkmate2.model120.apk?
(The file automatically downloaded to my device during the compile process works exactly as if it had been called by its full name and has the appropriate icon and display headers. There are two more different but generically similar apps to be produced - for the model130 and the model150, so some complexity in naming is going to be inevitable. )

I guess your Project file (B4A file extension) has a space in the name.
Remove the space from the project filename.

Thank you DonManfred - spot on. No space in the Package name, but a space in the project file name - Model 120! It's great to get these points of discipline ironed out in my first B4A app! Thanks for a really helpful Forum...
