IDE generates invalid package name

Hi there,

I finished my Native App, and ready to upload to the store.
The package made by IDE is called: BWYrg7si0h-1.0.0-arm.tpk
However, when I am trying to upload, the seller office site says:

"Please check and upload again. Special characters except an underscore "_" and a space cannot be used in a file name."

And aborts the upload.

My question, is it valid to rename manually the TPK file to something else (like: myApp.tpk)?
If not, how can I let the IDE generate correct and valid package filename?

Thanks,
   Zoli

Qucik update: I have changed the name to a simple.tpk, uploaded, now being reviewed by the Tizen Store. So far it seems no problem to rename the package...

Hi zoli, Thanks for sharing this information .

We've experience exactly the same probelm. We renamed the application as <app id>.tpk and it worked but I'm left wondering if that is the right appoach.

Is there a reccomended workflow for this?

Why would the build system generate an application file with a name that is incompatible with the store?

Hi Zoltan Puski,

IDE generates the tpk installer with name containing the App Version and the Execution Env (Emulator or Device).

Tizen Store expects the installer filename not to conatin any special characters except space or "_". So, its needed to rename the installer file before uploading on store.

 

However, I'm not comfortable with the process that, installer package for device can be built only when a device is connected to the PC. By default the IDE generates installer for emulator with "ix86" which may not work on device. I'll start a new thread for the same.
