Hi! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

FlutterFlow doesn't allow the use of "in" in app package names, as it's a reserved keyword in both Java and Dart. This limitation arises from the package naming conventions in these programming languages, where certain keywords are restricted to prevent conflicts with the language syntax and reserved functionalities.

It's best to select an alternative that follows the conventions to avoid potential issues during development and deployment.

Best regards.

"in" word being a reserved word in the programming language should not limit the use of having it as a package name on the playstore or app store. Any or Most companies would like to use their domain in reverse order to uniquely identify the application. This would mean FlutterFlow does not support any product with domain ending in "in", which is the case for all domain names from India.

Along the same lines of you answer, since "in" is a reserved word in java, I do not see Google restricting package names starting with "in" in their App Store. Why does FlutterFlow do it?

From your support, I hear that this limitation was implemented to address deployment errors that occurred due to conflicts with certain reserved keywords.

FlutterFlow should not restrict whats already existing, but rather fix their product.
Example of an app with package name starting with "in": Amazon India (in.amazon.mShop.android.shopping)
