I went to export an .apk file and it didn’t actually export my project. It seems like the export button just exports the Thunkable X live app.

1. I created an app called “Test”.

2. Exported it as an Android app (.apk).

3. When I went to install it, the package installer said the name was “Thunkable” and that I was installing an update to the already installed Thunkable X live app.

4. The installation then fails with a package name conflict error.

Hey Conor,

Thanks for catching this – this is definitely a bug that we are working to fix. You will have to uninstall the companion to install your build app.
