Package names by convention should be lower cased. There was actually a bug in previous versions regarding non-lower case package names.
You will need to use lower case name.

Can you post the steps you did before the crash?

The problem will be that the directory exists "HBVerbrauchszaehler" already with capital letters and will try the same directory "hbverbrauchszaehler" create small letters, which is probably not possible.

The directory in small letters was not created, but a program icon.

After that, I'm the object directory \ \ HBVerrbauchszaehler now in hbverbrauchszaehler
have changed, the app is running again and overwrites the previous APP and retains the data.

Problem now is that only now are in the application window icons exist two APP,
which both start the same app.

You will need to uninstall the one with upper case package name.

Hi Erel, the problem is, while the data is then also uninstall files that use the new app. There are already many thousands of users use my APPS.

I think the real problem is market updating when you previously published with some uppercase.

Why did you change the package name to lower case? The new restriction is only applied when you set the package name.

My program will be released in two versions: a full version and lite version. Accordingly, I change only the package name and label name.

If it is not possible, then I use for my two existing APPS B4A-1.7 and the only future for the APPS B4A1.8.

You can also change the package name by opening the B4A file with a text editor. You will see the package name at the beginning of the file.

Hello

Setting the line "Package=x.y.Z" in the .b4a file didn't work for me.

The Manifest file shows the package name in parameter "package=x.y.z" in all lower case letters no matter which way I set it in the .b4a file.

Manually setting the correct case in the Manifest file and making it read only didn't work either - the app just crashes on start up.

I can't simply remove the existing app from the market as there are a few that would be affected by this issue so any further suggestions?

Regards

Joe

After setting the package name in the B4A file, you should press on Tools - Clean project.
