I am trying to deploy an app to Google Play and it keeps failing with the error 'You need to use a different package name because ‘com.example’ is restricted.
However my package name is not com.example. I have even created a new project with the following command…
ionic start --type ionic1 -a llfmobileapp -i com.llf.llfmobileapp llfmobileapp blank
there should be no references to com.example in the project I just created using the above command
after I created this 2nd project, I checked the files and I noticed that the ionic CLI placed the wrong the widget id in the config.xml, it was set to io.ionic.starter not the package name I specified. so i updated the config.xml with the package name that I want and then added the android platform with the following command…
ionic cordova platform add android
Then I checked my applicationManifest,xml and it now contains the proper package name and so does my config.xml
I built the code with both of these commands with the same result…
ionic cordova build --release android and cordova build --release android
The only code that I copied from my original project which had the same problem was the www folder. I have searched through all the code and can’t find a single reference to ‘com.example’.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
thanks in advance…
