    Has there been a fix implemented yet? I am trying to release a game, cannot build.

    This exists on 2019.2.7f2. It sucks cause 10 years ago I published games with an underscore. Now Unity won't let me make a build with that name. If it's incorrect syntax, then unity should have a popup letting you know. Then maybe have the field with an asterick or in red or something. But give us a choice. Also, play store did allow these to be published like that and they do not let you change the package name. So we're stuck with them.

    I found a fix for anyone having this issue. Under Player Settings/Publish Settings, check "Custom Gradle Template". This will create a template file in Plugins/Android. Open that file in a text editor. Remove the first comment line at the top to prevent Unity from overwritting this file on your next build. Then look for the Application ID. It will have a wildcard as it's default value: applicationId '**APPLICATIONID**'. Just change this to what you want your app ID to be. Be sure to keep it between the quotes. For example: applicationId 'com.my_app.some_package_name'. This worked for me. Once the apk is created you can verify it by opening the apk in Android Studio and looking in the manifest.

    This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Makes it incredibly difficult to update past apps that had application IDs containing underscores.

    I can't deploy my game because of this. Please fix asap.
