Duplicate Provider Authority

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I have google play account where i have submitted two corona SDK applications and both are published. But the problem is that when i am downloading one app, i have to delete the other app i have downloaded before. Otherwise it gives an error"Duplicate Provider Authority". So kindly help me regarding this problem.

Thanks!

My guess would be that either: 

  • Both apps have been built with the same package name (e.g.  com.wasim0045.myapp )
  • You signed both apps with the same keystore.

Both the keystore and package name should be unique for each app.

The same package name would make sense, except I can’t see Google allowing you to use the same package name on the developer portal. 

Now maybe if you have an app side-loaded with the same package name, that would cause the problem.
