Android Question Cloning Apps

Blueforcer · Jul 10, 2021

I made an app wich has its own appstore (containing my own B4A apps) but i want to be able to install one app multiple times.
There are several cloning apps out there wich allow to install the same app more than once by modify the manifest and re-signing the app.
But i want to do this with my main application and not with third-party.
Is there any way to do such things in B4A?

The package name identifies the app to Android so if you change that you can install additional versions of the same app. However they will each have their own separate private data because, as said earlier, it is the package name that uniquely identifies the app.

That's what I want, but how to clone an app with B4A without to compile the source in IDE again?
Any chance to change the package name of an apk?

I've no idea, apart from recompiling with a different name, as I don't know much about how apks are packaged.
