Manifest and FC?

[DTsEMT]

Absolute noob question, I am sure. BUT - having published an app to the Android Market with the old version of B4A, and the project identifier was com.ThisAndThat -

I updated the app, and am told by B4A that I must now name the project "com.thisandthat". That's fine, but the Market will not accept the app as an update with that name - the name has to match the previously published name. Learned my lesson, in future projects will be all lowercase, but for now...

Searching the forum I found a post somewhere that stated it was okay to edit the manifest with a text editor and rename the project. Did so and only changed the name to com.ThisAndThat, and published, and now 6,000+ people are getting an FC when the app starts.

Help! Must I delete the app on the market, and republish? Is there something I need to do in addition?

I have tried Tools->Clean Project and republished, same problem.

Do you also get this error when you run your program?

You should have edited the B4A file not the manifest file. The manifest file will be created automatically.

Erel,

Thanks so much for your quick response! When I compiled the program, and it installed to my local device, everything ran smoothly.

You're quite right, it was the B4A file I edited, not the manifest. Just to be sure, though, I deleted all the program-generated files and recompiled everything. The APK has been uploaded but the market hasn't shown the update yet, so here's hoping...

With the error-inducing update, the message seems to be this (which, Googling, seems to be caused by renaming stuff):

Resolved - blowing everything out of the water except the B4A file, and recompiling, did the trick. Thanks!
