Android Question Name 2 apps so both are on the same device.

AndyUK · Jan 4, 2019

I have tried ALL the suggestions on this forum but cannot get 2 versions of my app on the same device. I have tried changing the filename (CaravAndroid2019.b4a), changing #ApplicationLabel: CaravAndroid2019 and Activity.Title = “CaravAndroid2019” on one and changing all 2019 references to 2018 on the other. I have even used a different Icon for each but when I ‘bridge’ either project, the other version is overwritten.

Hi, I think you need only to change the package name of one of the two app, so you can install both.
No matter the name, version and icon (they can be the same for both).

Thanks Davide

That was the solution, I was looking in the wrong area of my project. If anybody else has this requirement this is where I found how to change the package name
