Hey there, I’ve dealt with this exact scenario a few times when working with AppGallery Connect, so let’s break this down clearly for you:

Absolutely—you can modify the package name of an existing AppGallery Connect project, but the process and limitations depend on where your app is in its lifecycle.

Step-by-Step Guide to Fixing a Misspelled Package Name #

First, Assess Your App’s Status #

• If your app is still in development (not published to AppGallery, no core HMS services like Push Kit or IAP configured yet), the process is straightforward.
• If you’ve already published the app or set up dependent services, you’ll need to do some extra cleanup to avoid breakage.

Modify the Package Name in AGC #

1. Log into the AppGallery Connect console and navigate to your target project.
2. On the project homepage, click the name of the app with the misspelled package name to enter its detail page.
3. From the left-side menu, select App Information.
4. In the "Basic App Information" section, look for the "Package Name" field—you’ll see a small pencil icon next to it. Click that to edit.
5. Type in the correct package name, then hit Save.

Critical Post-Modification Checks #

• Update Local Project Settings: Don’t forget to sync the package name in your Android project. Update the applicationId in your app-level build.gradle file, and ensure the package attribute in AndroidManifest.xml matches the new value.
• Refresh AGC Configuration: Download the updated agconnect-services.json file from the AGC console and replace the old one in your local project. This ensures your app can communicate correctly with HMS services.
• Published Apps? Proceed With Caution: If your app is already live on AppGallery, changing the package name means you’ll need to submit a brand new version for review. Note that existing users won’t get an automatic update to the new package name—this can split your user base, so only do this if absolutely necessary.
