When building an app you given an option to set a package identifier, How important is it? Does it need to be unique from any other app on the market? What use does it have?
Your package identifier must be unique. It is used to identify your app.
so technically I could do com.google.myapp would work?
I won’t actually do this
No, that would probably get rejected from the google play store.
Just use a reverse url like everyone else does.
i.e. My apps are:
com.roaminggamer.appname_or_acronym
You’re going to need a website anyways, so why not advertise it in your packageID.
How would someone find the package id?
Huh?
Your package ID is going to part of the store link.
For example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roaminggamer.rad2
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id= com.roaminggamer.rad2
Anything in a link makes its way into the magical world of search engines…
Oh, I did not notice that.
