Hi 
I have built 2 applications with intel XDK with different names and splash screens but i didn't edited any other details 
but 
when i tried to download APKs on my mobile , the mobile considered the second application as an update to the first one 

so how could i make them different 2 applications ? what to edit in Intel XDK to make like that ? 

Thanks

Amr, make sure you change the application package as well. If it is an Android device, android will use the application package to identify your application, if you have one with the same package it will try to re-install it.

In build settings, under the platform that you are building for - change appName and appID.

If you are building for the same platform more than once change the appID each time before you build. Appname can be same.
