Got an error when trying to upload apk to google play

Question

Did anyone encountered this problem: "ERROR getting 'android:name' attribute: attribute is not a string value"? I got it when I tried to upload an apk to google play, and I dont imagine what could be a problem in my apk, cause it works perfectly. Is it a bug?

Here is my manifest file

Problem in your package name. Please do this, I have corrected this. Please verify you package name two times. Package name needs to be same always every place in your app.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Answer 2

You Define package="app.com.discountscatcher"

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="app.com.discountscatcher" // Your application Package
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

But you are using com.discountscatcher.main.MainActivity

<activity
        android:name="com.discountscatcher.main.MainActivity" // Different Package name
        android:configChanges="orientation"
        android:launchMode="singleTop"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Try change it to "app.com.discountscatcher"

Like app.com.discountscatcher.MainActivity
