Please fix this!!!. We have quite a few apps that cannot use GCM because of this.

This should have a "high" priority, not a "medium" priority. The reason being that you cannot change the package name for apps already deployed to the app store. This means that any apps that have already been deployed with upper case package name are unable to use GCM. :-(

This goes back to an issue with C2DM.  It did not allow the package name permission to start with a capital letter either.  Since Android allows the package name to start with a capital letter, this permission should be able to as well.

Here is the excerpt from android package name documentation :

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html

"A full Java-language-style package name for the application. The name should be unique. The name may contain uppercase or lowercase letters ('A' through 'Z'), numbers, and underscores ('_'). However, individual package name parts may only start with letters."

Upper case letters should be ok.

After doing a little more digging, the original post has the best description in the correct behavior.  Currently ANY permission must not begin with a capital letter if and only if there is a dot operator inside of it.  Permissions should be able to be created with capitalized names.

Isn't there a way to do this yet?

It's really anoying for everyone, users and developers, to do a new app just for this issue

news ?

DO AGREE...the same requirements as for Java package name should be used for permissions!
