Hi, I have successfully published with google play. But when I try to upload the apk with samsung app store, I get the following warning and upload fails:
There is no application ID(PackageName) or Version information(VersionName) in the Android Manifest.xml file you have registered.
Click to expand...

The information is there, I have checked it (Package name and Version Name).
Can someone please help to resolve this issue.

Thanks

Strange if you've managed to publish on the Google Play Store as they are quite finicky, I found that if I put any text in the #VersionName they'd reject it (or was that Amazon).

I was putting sub numbers in the #VersionName such as 1.07 but now I'm just doing:

#VersionCode: 7
#VersionName: 7

You might try simplifying it like that, see if it helps.

The package name of course is under the Project menu, mine is set to com.btinterface.trial.beta

I had the same problem. It was incredibly difficult to get it published. I am sure your apk is all right, you just need to find the right place to add the information.
I think on the top was another option somewhere, but its been a year I cant remember.

Sorry maybe not on theme , but I suggest you to use Inmobi Publish (160+ markets) . It will publish nearly in one click to all markets. What concerns Samsung - is nearly hard to publish application there - a lot of information and moderation. Aslo if you have new version of B4A - version name and package name now are in top of code in attributes. The largest are SlideMe , GetJar , Opera AppStore , Amazon AppStore

Not working

My project attribute looks like the following:
B4X: 
#Region  Project Attributes 
   #ApplicationLabel: BlueTouch Switches
   #VersionCode:2
   #VersionName:2
   'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
   #SupportedOrientations: portrait
   #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

I had nothing written after Version Name, I wrote 2 now ->But I am getting the same error.

can you show us your project attributes, module attributes etc. so that we know how to do it.

Cheers

The reason is that after seeing your post I started to change mine to make it more modern

I may have messed things up.

When I make a new project in B4a 2.71 I get this:

B4X: 
#Region  Project Attributes 
   #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
   #VersionCode: 1
   #VersionName: 
   'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
   #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
   #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes 
   #FullScreen: False
   #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

There are no 'module attributes'

This just seems to work.

#Region Project Attributes
#ApplicationLabel: BTExample
#VersionCode:2
#VersionName:2
'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
#SupportedOrientations: portrait
#CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#Region Activity Attributes
#FullScreen: False
#IncludeTitle: True
#End Region
#Region Module Attributes
#FullScreen: False
#IncludeTitle: True
#VersionCode: 2
#VersionName: 2
#SupportedOrientationsortrait
#CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

Ok, thanks.

This is what I've changed mine to:

B4X: 
#Region Project Attributes
   #ApplicationLabel: BTInterface Free Trial BETA
   #VersionCode: 7
   #VersionName: 7 
   'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
   #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
   #CanInstallToExternalStorage: True
   #IgnoreWarnings: 12, 15, 24   
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes 
   #FullScreen: False
   #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

I hope it'll be ok for Google Play Store and Amazon but if not then I'll know what to look at

For me, you have this B4A V2.71:
B4X: 
#Region Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: BTExample
    #VersionCode:2
    #VersionName:2
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: portrait
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#Region Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region
or this if the project was saved with a previous version of B4A.
B4X: 
#Region Module Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
    #Application Label: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 2
    #VersionName: 2
    #SupportedOrientationsortrait
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region
In that case, according to your post, it seems that you are missing:#Application Label: B4A Example

B4A Example should also be the name of your application and not B4A Example.

Best regards.

Don't understand

I don't understand why having the module attribute made it work with samsung app store when it is not a feature of B4A's latest version? (just project and activity are there by default)
If I leave it there (the module attribute), is that going to be a problem?

I should think that if it works then it won't be a problem.

Thank you very much for your experimentation, this could help a lot of people.

No problem, I am glad to help with whatever I can. This is what the forums are for. I got pointers I needed and finding way around is not very tough after that MOST of the times
