How to have two phonegap applications on one phone

Question

I created two applications with phonegap. I need to have both on my phone so i downloaded both apks. But everytime i try to install the missing application, it only overrides the existing one. How to have both on my phone?

Answer 1

Ok that was quit simple: just give each application a uniqe id in the config.xml

Answer 2

You're most likely using the same "id" in your config.xml file. Use a unique one for each app, such as:

id = "com.example.pictures"

id = "com.example.appTwo"

Example config.xml snippet:

<widget xmlns   = "http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
        xmlns:gap   = "http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
        id          = "com.example.appTwo" 
        versionCode = "1" 
        version     = "1.0.0">
