Question

There is an application (already published to the Play Store) that has package name, that doesn’t fully conform to the Java naming convention (like CompanyName.ApplicationName).

Today, I was unable to publish updated version to the Play Store because the Developer Console complains about bad package name of the uploaded APK. Existing package name only contains letters and does contain a dot, so the only reason for rejecting it that I can think of is package name starting with the upper-case letter. It does match the previously used package name.

Can it be the case? Are there are some recently implemented restrictions for package name?

edit

The error I’m getting is

The package name of your apk (CompanyName.ApplicationName) is invalid. Package
names must start with a character and can only contain characters,
numbers, underscores and dots. They must have at least one dot, cannot
end with a dot, and cannot contain any runs of more than one
consecutive dot.

Answer 1

I had same problem. Upload your apk in the new Developer Console.
