Error when trying to upload to app lab

Hi whenever I try to upload my APK to the app lab it keeps on popping up this error code: OCULUS_PLATFORM__APK_PACKAGE_NAME_ALREADY_IN_USE. Does anybody know how

to fix this? I've tried stuff like renaming the whole project and deleting my application and

remaking it. Can somebody tell me how to fix this?

You need to change the Android package name to something unique. This is done in project settings for both Unreal and Unity.

 

UE4

Settings > Project Settings > Platforms > Android > Android Package Name

 

Unity

Edit > Project Settings > Player > Android tab > Other Settings > Identification > Package Name

    Well my package name is already unique, and it keeps giving me the error when I try and release another build in applab.

      I'm having the same exact problem, and Meta is also saying that the AndroidManifest allows banned permissions that are specifically DISABLED in the manifest after following Meta's own androidmanifest creation instructions to the letter...

      I have spent several years making this game, and am new to submitting to AppLab... Does Meta have a reputation for being hostile to indie developers? Something feels really strange about all this...
