   This same issue happened to us with a directory like com.xxxxxxxxxx.app, the workaround I did was to rename the folder and delete the wrongly generated files in android/ and ios/.

   You need to pass --project-name like @jmagman says above. Is this not working?

   It probably does, but it doesn't make sense to have to pass this option when adding web support to an existing project. The project name is right there in the pubspec.yaml file.

   The other issue is that the error message is misleading. While it technically correctly states that "xxxxx-xxxxxx" is not a valid Dart package name., it implies that "xxxxx-xxxxxx" is being used as a package name, which is wrong.

    Can we just have the run command just use the name as defined in .yaml or the module name?

    I'm guessing a grand total of 0 people want to use the folder name as the name for their actual project. Especially as names change, and folders tend not to.

    just now i faced the same issue after cloning a repository from github and i found out that after cloning the repository the file name was having capital letters that is not supported by dart, so i just renamed the folder and tried the command flutter create . and it worked.. i hope this helps to people facing the same problem as mine.

    That aint the easiest and best way

    hmm maybe it might be but why when there's a command to do this..

    I just ran into this as well, seems like this bug had been in the tool for a while...

    I agree with the points above, we should be using the pubspec name as fallback instead.
    I'll take a look at figuring out a test and fix for the underlying tool bug.
