title: Android: manifest package name for Google Play Store
body: <p>I have developed an app that has a package name in the manifest called:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>com.android.example.XXXXXXXXXXXX.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I took a sample from google and added my own code onto it.</p>
  
  <p>Stupidly, I did not changed my package name to something like the reverse order of my website which is what it is suppose to look like. I have registered multiple API keys (GCM keys for cloud messaging etc) based on this package name.</p>
  
  <p>However, I'm sure that what I have put as my XXXXXXXX portion of the package name is quite unique and there is very little chance that it should be registered by anyone else. </p>
  
  <p>To change the package name would mean re-registering all these API keys using the new package name which can be quite a lot of work. Also the package name will not be displayed on the Play Store- its more to uniquely identify my app on the Play Store's internally.</p>
  
  <p>Is changing the package name worthwhile to do before I upload an app to the Play Store?</p>
