Apk name for different projects bug

#1 Post by CatNip23 »

Hello, I'm having a problem for a long time, and I'm not sure how to fix it. I also don't know if anyone else is having the same problem since I can't find anything like that when searching.

When I make the Android ports for different projects, the name always come out wrong.

For example, I make "Game 1", when installing the apk, it says that will install "Game 1". So far so good.
Then I go and work on "Game 2". When installing the apk, it says that will install "Game 1". That is not good.

I'm not sure what is causing it, but the only solution was to delete the "Rapt" folder, and I tracked it down the the "Prototype" folder, on:

renpy-7.4.11-sdk\rapt\prototype

It has happened on different computers and previous versions of renpy as well. Any help is appreciated.

Just a guess, did you forget to change the name in options.rpy before building game2?
Why on earth did I put the bread in the fridge?

No, but it shouldn't be a problem since by default Renpy makes the buid name the project name, but I always change it to add the version, so I for sure am not leaving the default as well

It does for PC builds but not Android builds, you need to set that in config before building

Just a heads up if anyone is also having this problem. I couldn't fix it, instead I just use an app editor program and change the install name there
