RealmMigrationNeededException when PrimaryKey is added/removed

Question

Here is Code of my Realm Configuration. Issue is, When I remove or add any PrimaryKey I'm getting RealmMigrationNeededException exception.

previsoly UpgradeInfo.class, RealmApplication.class

public class UpgradeInfo extends RealmObject{

    @SerializedName("version")
    @PrimaryKey
    private int versionCode;

    @SerializedName("version_name")
    private String versionName;
}

public class RealmApplication extends MultiDexApplication {

    @Override 
    public void onCreate() {
        Realm.init(this);
        RealmConfiguration config = new RealmConfiguration.Builder()
                .schemaVersion(1)
                .build();
        Realm.setDefaultConfiguration(config);
    }
}

the new UpgradeInfo.class,RealmApplication.class

public class UpgradeInfo extends RealmObject{

    @PrimaryKey
    private String packageName

    @SerializedName("version")
    private int versionCode;

    @SerializedName("version_name")
    private String versionName;
}

public class RealmApplication extends MultiDexApplication {

    @Override 
    public void onCreate() {
        Realm.init(this);
        RealmConfiguration config = new RealmConfiguration.Builder()
                .schemaVersion(2)
                .migration(new Migration())
                .build();
        Realm.setDefaultConfiguration(config);
    }
}

public class ZNJRealmMigration implements RealmMigration {

    @Override
    public void migrate(DynamicRealm realm, long oldVersion, long newVersion) {
        RealmSchema schema = realm.getSchema();
        if (oldVersion == 1) {
                     schema.get("UpgradeInfo").removePrimaryKey().addField("packageName", String.class).addPrimaryKey("packageName");

        }
    }
}

Here I'm getting this error:

try replacing your `addField` statement with `addField("packageName", String.class, FieldAttribute.PRIMARY_KEY)` — Pier Giorgio Misley, Feb 26 '18 at 08:55
Are you sure that it was previously schemaVersion 1 and not schemaVersion 0? The default schema version is 0. — EpicPandaForce, Feb 26 '18 at 10:03

When you create a RealmConfiguration without a schema version, its schema version is set to 0.

So your code most likely doesn't work because either:

you are using a different configuration that does not have the migration set
your schema version used to be 0 and not 1, so you aren't actually doing the schema operations that would change the primary key
