Underscore is certainly an illegal character in the ID (in application.xml) according to the docs. 

Did you try using AIR 3.4 again to see if the rules changed since then?  Maybe it was allowed in a previous version of AIR, but not any more?

Are you sure it's not a dash?

Thanks for kindly reply.

Android application IDs

if the ID is not a legal package name on the Android operating system, it is converted to a legal name. Hyphen characters are changed to underscores and leading digits in any ID component are preceded by a capital “A”. For example, the ID: 3-goats.1-boat, is transformed to the package name: air.A3_goats.A1_boat.

so I dont know why underscore is illegal,and my app at googleplay has an underscore ID indeed, not dash, I am sure.

this really bother me,cant update any app with an underscroe ID

because I have to update app to support android 4.x ...

ps. 3.4 even 3.2 also not working,@@ dont know how I did it before...

So from what I understand:

1) The error you get is while packaging your app

2) The ID you are using would be ok for Google Play (if it worked) because it accepts underscores

3) Google play will convert the ID from dash to underscore

So the solution seems to me to use: com.this-is-id.android.test

1) Packaging in AIR would be ok because the dash is accepted

2) Google Play would convert the dashes to underscores, and it would be ok on Google Play too
