Can’t save my app with the name I want

  1. The app name cannot contain any spaces. Use an underscore ( _ ) to create a space or use the name “MyFirstApp” with no spaces.
  2. The app name should be unique and cannot be a name that has previously been used by your Gmail account. Use a different name or add a number at the end.
  3. The app name cannot start with a number.
