Upgrade assistant should propose to remove the package name in the source manifest files if not already.

Accepted by xo...@google.com.

Hi! Thanks for the report. Can you share a bit more information about what the error you're getting is, and what the state of the project is at that point? If you can reproduce this, having the logs for a session where this happens would probably be helpful.

(The Upgrade Assistant does or should remove the package attribute from AndroidManifest.xml. The place where I see the error message given, though, is from an action to add a string resource: is that what you were trying to do?)

Thanks again!

I think I see the problem. I believe this issue is already fixed in Dolphin and later versions of Studio, but the fix did not make it into the Chipmunk release branch. I'll see if we can include a fix for this in a Chipmunk point release.

I've now submitted a fix for this into our Chipmunk release branch. I'm not sure whether it will make it into Patch 2, or whether it will have to wait for a Patch 3; I'll update this bug further when I know.

Marked as fixed.

(In the end, there was no Patch 3. It looks like this change didn't go into Chipmunk Patch 2, which is a shame, but I hope that any issues that it caused are long since resolved.)
