An error when I export the project, stuck at "Compiling source files"

[Jacopo_Biondi]

Hi, I’m new to this forum and this is the first post that I write.
When I try to export my project to an apk file, I am given an error (see the image below). How can I solve? Thanks everyone in advance!

oh sorry, I forgot about the image​ Anyway, regarding the error, I tried to remove some useless files because I thought the problem was that the apk was higher than 10mb. In the app there are only 2 images, of 2mb each, so I don’t know what to do anymore and I also tried to search the forum for other people with my same problem, but I didn’t find any.

AAPT is a very common error and can have many causes. You can search for AAPT.

But a common cause we see here is using a packagename that is not formatted correctly. Did you use a custom packagename?

[Jacopo_Biondi]

As I told you I’m new to the platform, can you please explain to me what’s the packagename?

How to change PACKAGE NAME

Hello everyone! This is my first and easy guide for beginners on coding and Kodular The package name is a unique name to identify a specific app. Generally, the package name of an app is in the format domain. company. application, but it’s completely up to the app’s developer to choose the name. What is the default? With the new update Kodular 1.4D.0, each part of the package name is restricted to 10 characters. If you use more, you can omit the error and compile your app too. How…

If you don’t know what it is you probably haven’t used it. Search for AAPT on the community.

[Jacopo_Biondi]

I entered a packagename (com.jacopo.videodownloader) but nothing has changed

[Peter (Moderator)]

Did you search for the error on the community and tried some of the solutions there?

[Mohamed_Tamer]

Can you show what extensions are you using.I’ve experienced this problem before because of an extension.

[Peter (Moderator)]

Is this an aia you got somewhere else or did you made the project yourself?

[Jacopo_Biondi]

I have not used extensions, I leave you the .aia file of my projectDownloadMedia.aia (936.5 KB)

[Mohamed_Tamer]

Does it work now @Jacopo_Biondi?

[Boban (Boban Stojmenovic)]

@Mohamed_Tamer

Still investigating But as the error says.It’s a problem in CompilerStage and not in your project.So i thought about creating another one

He had project in a project…

Two common mistakes by user that produces this error

• Wrongly formatted package name (This should not happen any more as of Kodular Eagle Version 1.4D.1)
• Project in a project (Installing project as an extension)
